Great place to start; Only stay 3+ years if you want to make partner.

Experienced associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Upward mobility, salary compensation, opportunities to work with larger companies and midsized companies a like. Travel and expense policies, work receptions, and client exposure at a younger age. Promotion after 2-3 years and again after 4-5 years.

Cons

Long hours, more than just busy season. Many times you will be working 3-4 busy seasons a year or 70 hours a week for 8 months at a time depending on the client. No time to study for CPA or other certifications. Very hierarchical. Bad bonuses recently, due to economy.
