Pros

They have above average pay for position and offer a good number of financial benefits and attempt to take care of their employees during busy season by offering delivered meals, allowing expended meals, etc. You won't get exposed to any greater level of businesses than at a big 4 firm. You'll learn a lot in a short amount of time and is a great resume builder. Great PTO benefit.

Cons

Hours. Sometimes it is difficult to draw a line between busy season and off season. Truly it is just all a busy season and January through March/April is your peak time. If you have a family, it is very difficult to manage both your professional and personal responsibilities. I left after a fairly short period of time with the firm because of this reason, I was often forced to choose between work and family. Often times, you will work close to midnight or later on a consistent basis to meet deadlines which definitely negatively effects your mental and physical health.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
