Pros

The amount of reputable rapid experience you will build up can be used in many different industry sectors down the line.

Cons

First of, for the job requirement's of both needing to have a CPA and working around the clock every single day, both the salary and benefits are laughable. Extremely underpay employees while putting immense pressure to reach billable goal. Not to mention that the training they will offer you is extremely minimal and you will spend much of your own personal time researching how to find solutions to problems you cant even diagnose. Work life balance was non-existent. They would act as if when you worked a normal work week hours that this was a benefit and should be cherished. Everyone with in upper management was either extremely unapproachable or would get frustrated for asking diagnoses to issues on engagements as the ultimate goal was to squeeze out as much as possible for the client with minimal hours billed on it. Overall, it seemed to be a very high stress career with long working hours, and repetitive which is why the turnover rate was extremely high year over year.

Pros

The pay kept me there

Cons

No shared mission or vision. No executive level support of initiatives. No direction. People are expendable. Heavy micromanagement of menial tasks. No systems or technology. Departments competing to cannibalize each other's tasks. Doesn't listen to partners or managers to improve the business. Culture is shady at best and toxic at worst.

Pros

The job itself wasn't very demanding. Partially because there was so much red tape it made it hard to get things done.

Cons

One of the most toxic marketing environments I've seen in my career. Leadership is wildly incompetent which means the teams within are fighting against each other for resources with no direction or referee. People with fresh ideas - or even those who have a voice to collaborate instead of taking orders - are not welcome.
