Pros

Health care, 401k, good position to have while looking for something better.

Cons

During interviews it was claimed to have work life balanced, focus on growth of the individual, training opportunities and choice of work industry. There were even orientation videos on these particular goals. Perhaps it is just the Orlando office missing these cultural aspects. At the Orlando office, there was no focus on the company goals and no foreseeable future progress to improve. Their main focus was to charge as many hours possible even if quality of work was not there. During my tenure at least 2-3 tax staff members would leave each month. The staff level that left varied from Assistant, Associate, Senior and Manger levels. It was rare to be working on a client that there was still a previous staff member who worked on them. There was no consistency on procedures and lack of organization. Managers and Partners procrastinated on reviewing work and meeting deadlines. There was pure lack of respect for the clients.

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.
