Pros

Good medical, retirement and other benefits. Training programs. School reimbursement plans. Company pays for CPA prep courses. However The cons at this office location far outweigh the pros

Cons

Untrustworthy managers and partners. A lot of back biting between managers, seniors, and associates. Culture at that office focuses more on billable hours and not the well being of its non-managerial employees. Overall company advertises a work life balance for all employees but this ultimately depends on the partners willingness to implement . High turnover. Many employees in this office miss work due to illness. Better work hours with a Big 4.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
