Pros

Flexibility! The ability to work from home and make your own hours does a lot for work/life balance. The system where employees are judged based on results rather than face time, along with the incentive bonus structure where bonuses are determined by the amount you save your clients, fosters a productive and rewarding work environment. In addition, this company has an incredible business model that has been very successful, and there seems to be no signs of slowing down. This job looks to be a great long term opportunity.

Cons

Sometimes firm policies and procedures take priority over common sense. Employee resources seem to be very comprehensive, but certain things can take way longer than they should.

Pros

We have better relationships with more Fortune 500 companies than I experienced while working at the Big 4. The commission/bonus structure provides unlimited potential. If you work hard and make it through dry spells, eventually you strike oil and can make a ton of money. Unlike the Big 4 where tax is second fiddle to the audit practice, tax is our business. Everyone actually does client service. There aren't multiple layers of overpaid administrative partners. Everyone is paid based on results, and everyone is accountable. Much more proactive than reactive and willing to battle for our clients. You are free to work when, how and where you want, as long as you achieve the results expected of you.

Cons

The commission/bonus structure isn't for the risk-averse. Some of the expense policies are on the frugal side, but at least they are administered fairly.
