Pros

Good place to come if you're green, fresh from school.

Cons

Work life balance is offered in lip service only. People fight for bragging rights by getting to the office earlier than anyone.....4am etc. Or, staying late, even sleeping in their office/cube. Most of senior management from AA days are out of touch; they've never worked anywhere else and have a skewed perspective on workplace etiquette and culture. They encourage employees to report on other employees inappropriately and are rewarded. Every few years there seems to be uncertainty on their future. CEO is known as ego-maniacal and insecure with anger management issues; he also fuels gossip. Bullying atmosphere. Pay is low.

Pros

good work life balance which is rare. No audit practice therefore tax dominate and controls direction of the firm.

Cons

Each office operates as its own Silo, incompetent staff, too much focus on admin and not on developing better skillsets.
