An audit firm where brand new staff are eligible for certification (CPA) bonuses to get paid more than their seniors, who are not eligible.

Similar to the other Big 4 accounting firms, is a form of slavery and injustices. Most people come here to work hundreds of hours per week, only to be paid substantially less than at Deloitte, KPMG, and PWC. They are so cheap with raises they would rather see everyone quit every year than try to pay in line with the other firms. And the tag line "quality in everything we do" does not apply to senior managers who are the darlings of the partners. It means they can be worthless and not work a hard day in their life while shitting on the seniors. Then once the problems ensue, they just blame the seniors to make it all better.
I get paid paid $8,000 less to do the same job as my college friend. Oh, thats because I work at Ernst & Young instead of Deloitte.

The last form of slavery in the US. This is where many young people begin careers and work 120 hours a week until they either quit or die from exhaustion. Former Ernst & Young employees often have scarred backs from the whip marks. See also Deloitte.
Brian can't go on vacation because he was required to step and increase his overall utilization at Ernst & Young.

A place where females in certain offices get paid significantly more than their male counterparts so that they don't blackmail the managing partner for grabbing their butt at the holiday party.
Amy is getting her MBA paid for by Ernst & Young because Partner Bob thinks she is hot, while Jeff can't even take one night class.

A organization consisting of sophomoric, overpaid individuals who are fresh out of college and think they are being crapped on by their employer when in fact they are worthless tools who can never get instructions right. However, its not their fault as there were no one good left at the top to teach them how to be good. Antonym: A cohesive organization that strives for continuous improvement and pride in the quality of work is evident at all levels...

A name used to describe the sweetest boyfriend ever. A Cody Ernst is very good looking, and has the brightest smile anybody could ever have. He's smart, creative, funny as fuck, and drives the sexiest Saturn known to mankind. A Cody Ernst may be found being extremely awesome at Robot Unicorn Attack or being far too chill for lyfe with his besties. Some people refer to this person as "baller status" and are probably jealous of everything he has to offer.
