Pros
I've worked at many CPA firms and can say hands down that public accounting is a very tough and demanding job and career choice. The hours are long and the work is very technical. What really sets CLA aside from the other firms ive been at is the quality of the people and the firm culture. The firm from top down cares about its people and has implemented policy to put people in a position to succeed. I don't think i will ever leave CLA but if i did it would not be for another CPA firm!
Cons
CLA does not provide bonuses, everything is baked into annual salary. I think this should be revisited as there seems to be a disconnect especially at the staff and senior level. there should also be bonuses for staff and seniors for bringing on new work - this is expected of management and principals of the firm but a 10% of new work for the first year bonus should be there to encourage our younger workforce to think of themselves as future partners in the firm.
