Pros

- flexible and willing to work with your schedule, even during busy season (within reason) - caring and friendly coworkers - managers and partners are always within arms-reach and willing to answer questions

Cons

- public accounting is a grueling job, and you will likely spend 60 - 70+ hours a week during the peak of busy season - not a lot of community involvement or volunteerism encouraged at the firm, although you do socialize plenty with coworkers

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.
