Business outlook
Pros
Family environment, less hours than industry standard.
Cons
After being at 2 other accounting firms after legacy, they are miles behind other firms in terms of compensation. While I was there for 3 years, they continued to hire because they thought they were understaffed when in reality they just didn't make there employees were that many hours (50 during busy season, 40 during non-busy). These other firms expect more hours than legacy does, but also pays a much higher compensation. Most importantly, legacy does not help you in the future if you decide to leave because other firms are in different sectors than legacy, so you either need to leave after 2-3 years or stay the long haul.
