Pros

Great Entry Level position, excellent health and retirement benefits, lots of community events and team building, great co-workers, catered lunches, potential room for advancement, great experience and skill set learning opportunities. Lots of PTO offered, and good corporate culture overall.

Cons

Tax season workload and job related stress is best described as intense. High turnover leading to inexperienced team mates and under-staffing concerns. Internal promoting and hiring is often biased and less about merit. Employee concerns/suggestions/needs are acknowledged, but receive little to no followup and rarely are resolved. Disproportionate amount of new clients being sold in ratio to employees and realistic workload. Can be very taxing on your mental and physical health during year end tax season.

Pros

Great culture and many talented people; Excellent ongoing training; Work hard but also play hard and try to help employees keep a balance; Good products and invest a lot into continued development; Leadership is approachable and transparent; Many opportunities to move into new positions and grow with the company.

Cons

Difficult to keep up with growth (a good problem but a problem nonetheless) and no real plan to manage growth; operational inefficiencies and silos take away from ability to provide outstanding service to clients; Company culture and few perks such as some free lunches and picnics do not make up for compensation being on the low end. The company and HR will have you believe it's such an amazing place to work that there's nothing like it out there - this is not the case, but many employees are stuck in this belief and don't command what they're worth, which stagnates the organization.
