Pros

used to have remote work

Cons

wholesale mediocrity. In twenty years experience in the profession, I never saw this level and abundance of mediocrity; and rewarding of such. Manager sabotage and steal work opportunity from the junior staff. Managers are not held responsible for staff development or on engagement training. Staff development is left largely to linkedin learning and on line cpes from vendors. AICPA audit programs, without any thought leadership or context development. They don’t have a CBIZ audit approach. They don’t have any in house developed industry leading acumen. They leave you to develop it on your own, then they profit from it and call it their own. The writing and verbal communication skills are pathetic. Forget about diversity, unless you are Asian. CBIZ is NOT a quality second tier firm. Fancy words and fluffy b.s. phrases, aside. And the IT/technology is the worst. Avoid this place.

Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.
