      Pros

      Good medical, retirement and other benefits. Training programs. School reimbursement plans. Company pays for CPA prep courses. However The cons at this office location far outweigh the pros

      Cons

      Untrustworthy managers and partners. A lot of back biting between managers, seniors, and associates. Culture at that office focuses more on billable hours and not the well being of its non-managerial employees. Overall company advertises a work life balance for all employees but this ultimately depends on the partners willingness to implement . High turnover. Many employees in this office miss work due to illness. Better work hours with a Big 4.

      Pros

      Solid exposure to a variety of clients, situations, industries. Summers are generally relaxed.

      Cons

      First, compensation is given regardless of any and all metrics; hours billed, rating, complexity of client, etc. As long as you show up and don't mess up you'll get paid the same as everyone else in your class. The younger partners are extreme workaholics. The Chicago office has an excessive % of out-of-state clients.
