Pros

They can be flexible with work schedules. If you have kids or family needs they will work with you. Multiple industries and service lines to work in.

Cons

You’re not going to make a lot of money here. Unless you’re a white male with sore knees, they’re going to under pay you. Their idea of training is throwing you into the water and hope that you swim. Lots of accounting firms are like this, and I may have just been unlucky with the region I was in (Wisconsin), but it’s unrealistic the amount of pressure they throw onto you as a new hire. You’re lucky if they assign a manager on the job with you as a lifeline. Don’t expect help. Most managers have been smart enough to leave but that just leaves snotty principals who think they are too good to train anybody and interns/associates/seniors who have no idea what they’re doing. They have a coaching thing for you’re “inspired career” but it’s so tone deaf. Nobody knows what to really do and just fills out the quarterly form. Inspired career is a load on bs too. They don’t care what industry you want to be in. If you’re in the region, they are sticking you where they need you- no escaping.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
