Pros

The people you work with are great

Cons

Partners does not appreciate the your effort. Partners communicate one thing and when it comes to there jobs, everything goes out the window. No work life balance, if you enjoy working 12-14hours day, it is a place for you. Lack of resources to support an actual audit. Partners care more about recovery rate than the mental health of its employees. Work are pushed up constantly, more junior members are not well trained. A significant number of experienced managers and seniors resigned due to work life balance, instead of recruiting good candidates, Partners has decided bum on sit is better. Due to the number of experienced employees resigning, Partners decided to promote numerous not yet ready candidates to sent a more positive message to the rest of the team despite push back from managers that actually work with these candidates comments.

Pros

- can work fully remote - met a couple really great people - if you work with the right people not an awful job

Cons

- you can work fully remote but people will harass you about going into the office for no reason and if you don't go in reflects poorly on you/your performance - employee politics is insane, if the wrong person doesn't like you they will fire you - very hostile work environment at their Cherry hill office. if you are not exactly like them they will gossip, bully and overall make you feel very uncomfortable. i wasn't even hired at their cherry hill office and they just moved me and those people made work unbearable and dreadful - pay is very low - unpaid overtime with 0 bonuses or incentives as an employee (even though the company is at record breaking profits) - you are nothing but a number here - if you ask to be switched to a different department or different clients they most likely won't do anything -emotional distress
