Pros

Work events and free food

Cons

Expect to not have a life as long as you work here. Hours are 80+ a week and you have to work weekends too but if you are lucky one of those weekends you may get to work from home. Doing the math and I was lucky if i was being paid $12 hour all together but I was salaried of course. You are EXPECTED to sign away your overtime even though you have a right to it. Expect to be paid very poorly. $50k your first year. $54.5k your second year. 60k your third year. Once you get your CPA you’ll get $70k and the year after that $75k. Don’t expect to ever reach over 100k. Pointless to stay after you get your CPA licensing. Get out while you can if your here.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
