Pros

I was lucky enough to have a mentor that actually cared about teaching and filing returns that were accurate.

Cons

Terrible work environment. No focus on growing within (just keep acquiring a bunch of old school/non-paperless firms). Salary sucks. No incentive like other public accounting firms to stay and work long hrs (extra PTO, bonuses, good benefits....nope none of it). Basically you make less than minimum wage when all is said and done (oh and you have to dress up and be in the office EVERY DAY).

Pros

Good amount of holidays and PTO. Lifestyle spending account and remote work were great.

Cons

In an attempt to get me to leave, little by little, my job duties were taken over by others in the department. Partners let this happen and did nothing to help me. Eventually, they eliminated my role. I documented multiple instances where the work environment was incredibly toxic but no one cared. HR never even contacted me for an exit interview. My experience was that if you did not fit into the boys club you would not succeed. There was a culture of micro-aggressions, cruelty, and badmouthing others when they weren't in the room and excluding anyone who did not fit their views.
