Pros

There are many dedicated, talented and genuinely good people to work with. The work can be fulfilling if you are in the right work group. It appears that the accounting staff is given great training on a regular basis.

Cons

There is a lack of respect from the top down. There is considerable attention given to charity causes, but it would be great if charity started at home, so to speak. Hourly staff is not respected and the training is very hit and miss, disorganized, not tended to. There is a tendency to use people up, including the accounting staff. Often there is an atmosphere of fear, waiting for the next one to be terminated. The HR department does not operate for the benefit of employees, matters are not confidential and the ambush terminations are downright scary. As far as benefits, the costs are high, contribution to 401(k) is non-existent, and there is no sick time at all. If you don't have PTO, you're out of luck.

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.
