Pros

benefits were the only reason- certainly not the low pay and the overload of work, nor the constant nit pick and analyzing of your character - good or bad...

Cons

They load you up with insane amounts of work and then expect perfect results. I would never recommend them to any client to trust them to do their work - the partners are so full of themselves with their egos and unrealistic workloads that they pass on, it is sad to see the sickening stress they put on all of the rest of their employees.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
