Pros
If you want to make a career out of public accounting then this firm will give you the opportunity to network and make some connections (since it is a large regional firm). However, if you want to make a career out of public accounting then I strongly urge you to seek professional counseling.
Cons
Where do I even begin....working here was like serving a long-term prison sentence. The pay is below average, finding out my bonus (if any) each year was the equivalent feeling of getting kicked in the groin. Throughout the year, you probably won't get to see the light of day and your social/family life will quickly disappear. During busy times most of us would work 80+ hours a week. That is just the beginning, most of the work is mind-numbing and soul-crushing; Also, if you want to advance then you will have to cheat the system and lie about your chargeable hours. Those who are honest about their chargeable hours will fall short of their peers and will be labeled 'slackers' and 'under-performers' Last but not least, there is more gossip and cliques in this place than when I went to high school. Everyone is constantly talking behind each others backs, whoever you may consider a friend is probably talking trash about you.
