Pros
Firm will pay for CPA materials, pay is not too far behind market standard compared to some other regional firms, and benefits are good.
Cons
Micromanagement, unrealistic budgets that have no flexibility, too many hours during busy season with mandatory Saturdays even if you’ve met your billables during the weekdays, lack of opportunities for growth depending on department, and lack of consistent training where many things are done completely different or with different standards based on different managers. Witnessed strong favoritism and hostility in several circumstances that combined with the stagnant promotion paths, low yearly raises, and the tension in teams, have led to endless turnover. Teams are not always cohesive and don’t work together well.
