Pros

Great co-workers, fun and interesting clients with good projects. Mix of compliance and specialized consulting. Management is trying to improve processes (more in cons on this). Good career opportunities depending on which department you work in. Some are better than others depending on management. This is normal at every organization. Overall great employer for early and mid career. A little rough and quite political beyond manager title.

Cons

Low pay compared to similar employers. Also pay is inconsistent within roles and not dependent on skills. Many high performers are underpaid compared to others. Disconnected and disjointed management. They are trying to improve but there are a lot of mixed messages. Management does not seem to be in agreement. They speak of flexibility, but if you want something there is a great deal of pushback. They usually give it to you but make the process adversarial and destroy trust in the process. Most employees realize you can only trust something if it is explicit and in writing. If not the story will change and the promise will go up in smoke. This is based on discussions with coworkers. Strong persistent personalities do well as they demand attention.

Pros

-Good at mentoring and teaching new skills and information -Easy to obtain CPE credits for CPA License -Friendly staff -Good annual raises -Performance review is designed to help employees not only at company itself, but as individuals in the workforce. The skills learned and improved on can be used at other accounting-related job positions. The job in general will teach you a lot and will give you a lot of knowledge regarding pubic auditing. -Good PTO. BerryDunn offers PTO for main holidays, as well as flexible PTO. There is a con with how this PTO is utilized though, which is explained in the con section. -Good paid maternity/paternity leave -Easy to advance/get promoted. They genuinely want to see you succeed and advanced.

Cons

-Lower pay compared to bigger company competitors, especially after you gain 2+ years of experience -Lack of flexibility; must work in office and lack of flexibility between working in office vs working from home. -Long hours, especially after you advance into the senior level or at the very least stay for more than 1 year -Not helpful to educational endeavors. When I was there, there was heavy pressure to obtain my CPA license. They also wanted me to be completely dedicated to my job at all times, even outside of work hours. Very difficult to juggle educational, personal, and work endeavors. -Unsympathetic to personal issues. At other companies, there is flexible PTO or periods that can be taken off to mourn the loss of a loved one due to death or a sudden issue. While PTO in general is good, you only get 3 days off to mourn the death of an immediate family member passing. Doesn’t sound too bad until you discover this is far from the norm compared to some other firms. Usually, the other firms treat these issues a lot better. -Difficult to utilize PTO. To utilize your PTO, you must schedule more than 1 year in advance. Otherwise, you will be scheduled to work during the time you planned to take the PTO off, and must find someone else to cover that week (or days) you had desired to take off.
