Pros

The firm is very entrepreneurial and allows for team members to start initatives.

Cons

The pay increases relative to inflation are a bit disappointing. A senior accountant is only making $7,500 more than an entry-level "Empower" Staff Level I Accountant. The firm is a bit disorganized within its utilization/scheduling, and constantly pushes for team members to hit their billable hour goal which is honestly very unattainable in the tax department.

Pros

Good benefits and strong 401(k) match. As well as great opportunity for marketing. Solid resources for mentorship as well.

Cons

Salary is capped at certain levels and totally dependent on CPA without having any consideration for your performance throughout the year. Also, scheduling can be vastly improved as you will be over-booked throughout various periods of the year. Also not very diverse in hiring practices.
