Pros
After the Big 4 firms, Crowe Horwath is one of the biggest accounting and professional service firms in the United States and across the world with its affiliate network. As a result, the infrastructure and support is fairly strong, training is extensive and the pay is, by and large, better (the Big 4, after all, expect you to work for less in exchange for the "glamour" associated with working for them). The firm really works hard to invest a lot in its people and continues to grow aggressively, while knowing full well it will never be near the size of a Big 4 firm. They work you pretty hard here but don't expect you to live in breathe the place, the work/life balance is well respected most of the time (unless it gets insanely busy as it sometimes does). Depending on your job and workload, they are generally pretty flexible about working remotely and taking time off. But you definitely have to do more than just show up for work and do what is assigned to you - there is little chance of advancement if you don't take the initiative to do that "extra" thing - write articles for the website and outside publications, teach a training class or seminar, etc. This is all encouraged as part of your employee development. The firm is also fairly generous with taking outside training & conferences - approval is practically automatic if it's local, and not terribly difficult to get if it's out of town (of course, like any firm, there are limits on doing training that would incur travel expenses).
Cons
Some offices have a tendency to "hoard" work and not share it with other offices no matter how busy they are, because each employee and office are judged on the amount of billable hours they have every month. Some people are trolling the offices in search of billable hours while others are overwhelmed. This can pit offices against each other. Also, while the IT department is very good at what they do, they have to be because the laptops run into a lot of technical issues, which can slow down your workflow.
