Pros

- Young atmosphere where friends can be made. - Travel for work - Fast-paced environment to learn many companies

Cons

- Environment of high school with gossip, drama, and popularity that will ultimately determine your pay raise - Non-merit based ranking system (I.e. based upon friendships as opposed to difficulty of work) - Unappreciative managers and partners (As evidenced by top-down orders for partners and managers to show more appreciation because of extremely high turn-over) - So many employees are unhappy working at GT that people are leaving faster than they can be replaced. - Lowest compensation in the auditing industry - Comparable hours to the big 4 and experience is not as good. - Middle market audit firm means some people have year-round busy season
