Pros

-Nice people who are invested in the success of their clients and projects - great teaming and resource sharing across the firm - overall people at the office at open and warm with a lot of effort to having the team feel close

Cons

- staff pay below competitors - very poor infrastructure in place, inadequate and inconsistent training, poor risk management - longer time to promotion due to conservative leadership - very conservative leadership at top from ST Louis who are stuck in old days of people working their entire lives there to make partner, also on an 80s dress code - terrible benefits, below competitors by a good margin, no paid maternity leave. Instead management just abuses their discretionary PTO policies to give themselves paid leave on maternity while all staff and all non-client facing employees only get unpaid leave

Pros

Worked for the Tax R&E Team. Amazing group, great company, and fun intern events. Was allowed to stay on and work part time for a fall semester. 10/10 would recommend. Learned so much about statups/emerging technology companies. Clearly a good culture

Cons

Wish I got to work the "tax" seasons to truly understand the full through process.

Pros

The culture in the Kansas City office is amazing. Everyone cares about each other and getting the work down together.

Cons

Pay is below the average you can make other places in Kansas City.
