Pros

-pay for CPA exams -Incentives for passing the exam within your first year of employment - Family oriented environment/ culture - Access to all the resources

Cons

unlimited PTO , meaning no PTO and company doesn't have to pay out upon termination of your employment. Move you around different lines of services and if you don't meet your billable hours, they (director & manager) will get upset and put you on performance review.

Pros

CLA has some wonderful clients that you get to work with.

Cons

I don’t even know where to start, first off they care more about charge budgets than they do about their employees. They do not acknowledge their employees accomplishments like getting promoted, getting your CPA, etc. There is no positive feedback Extremely disrespectful leaders, I had to step down from my job due to personal family issues. When I put in my two week notice after 2.5 years of working hard, leading my group in charge hours. I was treated with disrespect, my principal hung up on me while I was giving my two week, and never talked to me about me leaving again. The other principal was cold and didn’t talk to me at all. No understanding of my already hard family issue.

Pros

The office is nice and in a good location, firm is growing quickly

Cons

Firm is growing too quickly and in the wrong way. They continue to acquire smaller firms and never fully integrate them, leaving drastic disparities in quality and culture by office. It’s public accounting so it’s a lot of work, just as much work as your friends at bigger firms but without the name recognition, raises, bonuses, benefits, or exit opportunities. Raises are not good and bonuses are not awarded (they say that the bonus is “built in” to your salary). 401k match is very minimal. Avoid and go to a bigger firm, there are too many better options if you live in a large city.
