      Pros

      Nice sized clients. Hours are more reasonable. Opportunities to work near home office or travel. Efforts made by management to grow the firm.

      Cons

      Pay is lower than it should be and as a result, staff turnover is higher than necessary. Presence in central United States is lacking and firm name is not as well known.

      Pros

      There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

      Cons

      BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
