Business Outlook

Pros

The sky's the limit if you're willing to put in the work and produce clients. Success is recognized and awarded. But little tolerance for learning curves.

Cons

Clients stink. Some partners stink. Treat BDO as second class citizens in comparison to Big 4. No respect. Partners too greedy, penny wise and pound foolish. Do not take care of best employees, only favorite employees. Short term thinkers. ZERO planning and vision for future. Pay for upper levels is a joke in comparison to all the required hours.
