      Upper Management needs a few lessons

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are 5 partners that know what they are doing and are willing to teach so long as time permits.

      Cons

      Everything you can imagine: 1) They hire people who are under qualified to high positions such as Managing Director/Sr. Manager. There is one in particular who knows nothing in tax and advertises being a partner. 2) Pay is super, super low....so if you want to be able to pay your bills without racking up debt, stay far away! The workers who perform the work get very little, to nothing to show for their efforts in terms of higher compensation and bonus. As an example, manager salaries after the 2016 raises were in the mid 80K's range, and no, I am not making this up! 3) Backstabbing is very high, so brace yourselves.

      Second Rate Firm

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are good, although "vacation" and "flex" time are largely fictional. There are some good managers and you do learn a lot.

      Cons

      Poor compensation, long hours, no appreciation from management, awful culture, pretend "flex" time. BDO targets clients on their downturn with solvency issues or scandals. Very few quality clients.
