Great learning opportunities for younger staff but no place for a career

Tax manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits package Fellow managers and staff were talented and motivated

Cons

Partners spend most of their time in business development and do not appear to have the time or inclination to develop managers. There a reason people leave after awhile; they learn what they can and then inevitably a better career opportunity comes along

Pros

Peers are great and very knowledgeable.

Cons

The company exploites their employees making them work long hours although HR is always talking about work/life balance. The only people who get raises are the brownosers but not the ones who actually do the work.
