Pros
Will usually recruit around June, targeting near-graduated and graduated college students Covers CPA study materials Good starting pay PTO quickly acquired and easy to utilize Good insurance benefits Career path is viable, given the effort is put in Can request a change in assigned sector
Cons
Busy seasons are 50+ hours for at least two months New audit requirements and work to complete pop up annually, as is standard for the field Fast-paced, expected to pick up things on your own; you can ask questions, but they are expected to be thoughtful, and after you’ve done your due diligence to figure it out yourself No two incharges are alike, some will be more prone to express their frustrations than others May immediately be in a busy season depending on assigned sector, which can exacerbate difficulties for new graduates Accounting classes in college are the absolute base for completing the work; what you need to specifically do varies across each sector
