Pros
I like the logo and they feed you catered lunch during busy season (Not that generous, meals are %100 tax deductible, they do not do it because they love you)
Cons
- Weak training- they send you to Chicago for a two-day conference, you learn nothing, I couldn't even get the software to run on my trainer laptop, they do not even cover the basics (I only realize in hindsight years later how terrible it was) - Hostile work environment, managers bully staff and provide little guidance -Competition is highly encouraged, the work you get is first come, first serve (you basically have to wake up early in the morning to steal work from the workpool that others take from) - Returns are not labeled by complexity, you know nothing about the client, prep notes are terrible. We would only have a trial balance and an excel GL detail. - No training or guidance on how to communicate with clients, basically this job is absolutely terrible if you're entry level (unless someone takes pity on you and mentors you, did not happen with me) - We had cringey zoom meetings every week where the CEO would talk about his peloton for 20 minutes before telling us that the company is doing great but still need to fire people, NICE - Very few male employees, weird bias towards women (I only had two male coworkers and like 12 women accountants, all 5 managers and the partner were women) - No one wants to share knowledge; you only learn what the person right above you wants you to learn. No surprise there. - No one helps you, because it creates double billing and no one wants their time marked down (hurts precious metrics)
