Pros
- Excellent pay & benefits - Smart and kind mentors - Good work/life balance compared to other public accounting firms: they want to keep their employees happy so they are willing to work with you and are very flexible outside of busy season Overall if you are reliable and are pleasant to work with they will try their best to work with you. The firm culture does an excellent job at keeping the good employees (based off of work ethic) and weeding-out the poor performers which helps during busy season as you can depend on everybody pulling their weight.
Cons
- Busy season is brutal as you have to work 60+ hours to meet your goals (which is unavoidable and is expected in public accounting for all firms) However the work/life balance for the rest of the year after tax season makes it worth it as they give you ample vacation time at the beginning of the year and you keep accruing each month. With busy season being four months long, you end up having almost two months of PTO in April. Also worth mentioning - Several employees have left the firm and returned
