New Grant Thornton Cleveland Location Will Benefit Employees, Withering Plants

Posted on by Caleb Newquist

The Purple Rose of Chicago: Cleveland Edition officially opened the doors at One Cleveland Center today and OMP Dan Zittnan says that's exciting for all kinds of reasons including "enhance[d] productivity and development," as well as, "more efficient layout, access to natural light, increased multipurpose space and more effective collaboration rooms."

So not only will some lucky Grant Thornton employees be able to witness some sunlight during the upcoming busy season, their philodendrons will get to engage in a little extra photosynthesis.

Hiring Watch ’12: Grant Thornton Chicago Looking for Some New Dynamos

Much like E&Y, GT’s Chicago office is looking to get more asses in the seats because business is swell:

Grant Thornton LLP said it intends to add 140 jobs in its Chicago office next year, 80 of them entry level and 60 internships, most of them paid. Similar hiring this year was less than 100. According to a press release and a spokeswoman, the new hires are needed because the firm’s business is growing. The hires will work in “nearly every area” of the firm, including audit, tax and consulting.

Unlike E&Y, Hizzoner was not attendance:

[T]his announcement was not made by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has unveiled several somewhat similar moves by other companies in recent months.

Always a bridesmaid, GT. Always a bridesmaid.
