Pros

There are good opportunity to learn various areas of tax compliance and consulting. There are also fun people to work with at times, as well as a good opportunity to move around other offices in the company. Lastly, there are some really smart people at the management and partner level that one would be able to learn a lot fun if given the exposure to them needed to actually learn.

Cons

The pay is dismal. There is a lack of proper leadership, with most time spent on management preferential satisfaction and not substantive work. A lot of passive aggressiveness from management. Unrealistic expectations during busy seasons.

Pros

Free lunch during busy season

Cons

Very cliquey. Very dependent upon each manager and partner. Some partners were great, but others were rude/condescending/only cared about profits and chargeability. Company is growing very fast and rewards those who will work their life away
