Pros

•You gain a vast array of knowledge quickly, if you can handle it. •Pays your insurance premium (does not cover any family at all, though) • Decent retirement plan (but good luck making it 5 years to get pension vesting)

Cons

•Absolutely no training. •You work directly under the owner, who treats you as if he owns you. •Highly stressful •Very low pay for the amount of workload / industry standards. •Absolutely NO work life balance. •Owner constantly says he can do everything better than you, but never offers to help. •Employee turnover before I left was literally 100% a year. And there were usually only 8 employees. •Everything is your fault •Owner literally sends emails saying "I expect you to read my mind and answer questions before i ask them" •Too much to list, just stay away.

Pros

Very easy to climb the ladder due to huge amounts of turnover You are able to take on tons of responsibility very quickly Decent healthcare benefits if you are single 401k and pension plan. 401k is safe harbor and pension has 2-6 year vesting due to being top heavy

Cons

No resources available to employees to assist them. Limited financial software and you have to buy your own office supplies. You have to pay for all of the fees associated with licensing with no assistance from the firm Bonus plan changes every quarter Very low salary in comparison to the amount of work you do Extremely stressful environment Principal used to be a CPA so he runs the firm like an accountant's office. You have scheduled hours and scheduled lunch hour, if you are late to starting your lunch you still need to be back by the designated end Principal has a horrible reputation in the industry, so working with supposed business partners is extremely difficult because they do not want to assist this firm in any way New employees are forced to sign 3 year contract as condition of employment, if you quit within 3 years you owe the principal $50,000 and he will sue you to collect without hesitation. I started before these came into existence, but I know of 3 ex-employees who are currently fighting lawsuits. Owner micromanages everything employees do all the way down to the font in excel spreadsheets This was by far the most stressful place I have ever worked. I would advise avoiding working here. You are paid very little and are emotionally abused daily.

Pros

You get the chance to have a lot of responsibility quickly and learn You do have the opportunity to make some good connections from the current employees who also got suckered in to the firm.

Cons

You won't get appreciated (or paid) for any of your additional work and added responsibility. Absolutely no training. You get completely taken advantage of and employee moral is very low. Everything said in all of these posts is completely true.
