Pros

Okay pay, and some decent people that explain how to do certain workpapers.

Cons

They think 2080 hours is reduced when it's the average typical hours at any full-time job. Was reprimanded for working from home on a Saturday because I guess it matters that you have to work for the company for 2 years before they let you do some work from home. Directors seem frustrated when someone has less than a year of experience and you are not sure how to complete a certain work paper. Was also reprimanded for having a weekend job and then forced into an ultimatum even though the contract I signed says you can have multiple jobs (as long as it is not in the accounting field) if it does not affect your work (which it did not). The partner even demanded to have proof of termination in writing from my other job. If you do not at least budget 55 hours a week during the busy season they get pissy too. Nothing you say or mistakes you do are confidential. When I got reprimanded for working from home on a Saturday it was a conversation between the director and me, and somehow one of the partners found out and I was called into his office. This was after the director had told me that I could come to him for anything after I explained I was taking therapy. Not sure I can trust that person with anything confidential. Honestly, I do not feel confident when I come to work and upper management makes me feel stupid and uncomfortable

Pros

- Staff is enthusiastic and dedicated to teamwork - Partners are generally understanding of work/life balance - CPE is provided - Slight discount on a couple CPA study materials - Less working hours then some other firms due to "2080" program

Cons

- Differing partners have different workload and engagement expectations resulting in disorganization and workload confusion at times - 2080 means less hours worked overall but adds confusion on what hour expectations are during and outside of busy season - No formal way to ask for time off resulting in confusion at various levels about staff availability and ability to meet Partner expectations which were founded on not knowing/remembering time off communicated - Training is heavily reliant on CPE - Admin time is budgeted by 2080 and capped by annual review expectations, but reality is focus on billable hours is wanted and time spent on staff training, CPE, and company sponsored events can be questioned at times despite it fitting guidelines given.
