Pros
- You get dinners during tax season as a reward for the 70-80 hour work weeks you put in..... unfortunately if you eat those dinners anywhere other than your desk, it will impact your billable hours and keep you from getting a nice raise at review time.
Cons
- Since 2014 I can count at least 7 staff, four seniors, and 1 manager who have left the firm... at a company of roughly 30, to turnover roughly 1/3 of your employees in two years might show poor management.
- As a staff accountant, your billable hours will be controlled by those above you, but yet you will be accountable for reaching your "goal." The partner most influential in your yearly reviews will be the one you work with least. He's rarely in the office, but he will come prepared to your review with a printout of your billable hours, to be compared with the unattainable goal. Your raise will be impacted.
- Work life balance is non-existent.
