Pros

The only good thing about working for the Company was that I learned a tremendous amount; however, I believe I would have gained the same experience working for any other middle market firm in the area.

Cons

The management at UHY does not treat its employees very fairly. Also, the Human Resources department is not on the side of the employees but instead on the side of management. Employees felt they could come to the HR department if there were issues; however, instead they were either terminated or their "confidential" discussions were discussed with other employees such as administrative staff. The Company touts that they are a national firm; however, each firm does things very differently. The management of the firm makes you feel like you are replaceable and very rarely gives compliments. They have a tendency to keep employees around for very long periods of time who haven't completed the CPA exam (i.e. employees who have been there for 8 to 9 years without passing the exam).

Pros

Close to home, great work-life balance after busy season because there's nothing to do. You will get the big picture and see a lot in an audit.

Cons

No work is assigned to you, so even in audit you will do tax work. You'll spend your days hunting for work, and then you volunteer to learn something new and they won't let you. Then you get yelled at for not having more billable hours. You pretty much have to sit at your desk don't talk, and if you have no people skills / willing to bring people down you'll move right up. The office is very toxic and HR is practically useless. They pride themselves on paying overtime, but they give you way below market vacation days. You also have 120 hours baked into your salary of overtime, so you get stuck working 14 hour days in busy season. 6 days in your first year and 9 days in your second year. You spend weeks on end with next to no work because your job is not transactional. They are better off giving 21 vacation days like every other decent firm does and doing away with the banked overtime because you end up getting less days.
