Pros

Good place to get billing time to achieve your CPA. Can get extended experience since they are always short on staff and need people to take on projects they have not done before.

Cons

Tough environment to climb the ladder. They don't believe in levels to give you status as you grow your career. Once you move from Staff to Manager the income increase if very minimal, and they charge you more for health benefits once you are a manager. Extensive hours of over-time, all year long, not just seasonal. Turnover of employees is very high, even more than the average CPA firm. Benefits are weak, no 401k matching, medical coverage not very good. They say you can grow to different departments, but they will never let you since they are so understaffed.

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.
