Pros

Decent starting salary and benefits. No set work hours (this is a pro and a con). Working with a group(s) of bright young professionals that are more than willing to extend a hand to assist with a project. The bonus structure (if and when it ever works)

Cons

100% pigeonholed into niche markets of tax making an individual less marketable the longer they stay with the firm. Starting salary tends to higher than market average, but does not really move much over the course of your career. I believe they make it higher to make a fresh college student more enticed to take the position. Work-life balance tends to be pretty terrible for a firm claiming they have superb flexibility using MyRyan. Yes you can work from home, but you always feel like you are on the clock especially when you get emails from your manager late in the evening and on weekends. The list could go on, but I will end it here. The list of cons far surpasses that of the pros.

Pros

Culture is great amongst principle and executive team members. The work is not difficult if you have prior experience in property tax. Benefits are good. Great promotion track if you are willing to play the politics.

Cons

Political environment. Senior Consultants do not mind throwing newer people under the bus for their mistakes. Boundaries are not respected. You are expected to know everything with no real formal training, they do provide some training for the first few weeks but then it drops off and everything needs to be self taught. Management has favorites and you will know instantly.
