Pros

The staff there is mostly friendly and very helpful. There is work life balance here since the clients are mostly manufacturing companies, there is never really much of a rush on anything. It is pretty easy to complete your cpa here, get VERY BASIC training and go somewhere better. They have good corporate clients and many consolidated returns. Personally, its an ok place if your trying to be in a laid back environment as there is no backstabing or jealous staff that is competting for the "good clients" most of the people here are in there 30s and not really interested in becoming a big tax person. If your looking for a calm/ stress free environment this is it. Free metro cards

Cons

The managers will not teach you. The will give you barely enough info to get the tax return done. I know a staff that was working there for 5 years and resently started to get partnership returns. This place can be dangerous because, you stay here 2 or 3 years and dont leave because its easy , since the managers dont give corrections back, then you become like a data entry person, and you cant really leave because you dont know someone with 2 or 3 years should know. You will get stuck. Alot of times, they wont give you the return so you don't know if u made any errors. Its very slow growth there. I know this guy who worked there for 10 years and only became manager because he threatened to leave. Also, alot of times the managers are to lazy to train anyone. There are a few managers who will take the time out to show you how to do stuff, its really your luck there. I would say that if your young its better to go else where, just because you have the ability to work abit harder and other places may promote quicker. If your in your mid 30s and you know the basics than this is a very good place to work. its easy with a excellent work life balance and managers get offices.

Pros

Good benefits, place for growth, interesting projects, knowledgable team, most seniors and managers are happy to help, good training, ability to take long vacation paid or unpaid.

Cons

After NSHD was aquired by the CBIZ, everything went down the hill. The office became way too political and clicky. It was who you know and who likes you in the management ranks that determined your future projects and career growth. Employees were viewed as numbers and dispensable items. Team-building activities were cut short or completely eliminated in order to keep up with the budget, which became the main focal point of all meetings, discussions, etc. Recent layoffs completely killed employee moral and motivation. People are afraid of future lay offs. Overall, the place lost its reputation of a great place to work.
