Pros

A few people were nice? But they quickly left due to the high turnover rate

Cons

First they told me I would work in Audit and then stuck me in tax Then they told me that I would work crazy hours during busy season (expected) but it then light hours the rest of the year (lies) They give you loads of independent work and impossible deadlines when you don’t even know the system Zero work life balance, I got calls at 4am about returns. Can’t forget the racism. Was asked some pretty crazy questions and then constantly compared to the only other POC who worked there (which was 5 years ago) Oh also do not trust the positive reviews on here or Google. They “ask” current employees to go and give them positive reviews on both.

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.
