Business Outlook

Pros

Offer ACA training and able to send trainee to college

Cons

A lot of politics, bad management. Managers and HRs collude each other. Unfair treatment to junior level positions. Senior manager above include partners are not caring recruitment and human resources, which means that managers can do whatever they want to recruitment, promotion, and cut off of low level of human resource. The working culture is really bad. there is no involvement of semi-senior below staff in planning meeting. No brief from senior or manager before audit execution. Seniors are not willing to train juniors up on the job sometimes. The performance measurement is too frequently which enhanced workload especially in peak season.

Pros

Good people/everyone is very friendly, can learn a lot, yearly national trainings out of town.

Cons

Very heavy hours (there are weeks you might hit 70, 80, 90, even 100 depending on level and need). Pay is not bad but also not great. Lack of experienced people in upper level positions, not everyone who is a manager is able to help getting work completed/knows what they are doing. New strategy of working 35 billable hours after busy season.
