Pros

It is flexible; however due to mass turnover during covid, not able to find replacements means more work dumped on the rest of us still standing so the extra hours have been a drag. There's a lot of different opportunities so you won't get bored. CEO is a good guy.

Cons

Apparently not listening to current and departing associates because there's been a mass exit and the rest of us get dumped on. Many still standing getting contacted by other firms, employers and headhunters. While we need the client work to keep the lights on, at what point is the firm going figure out a way to not burn out those still standing. This is not a sustainable work model. Benefits are sub par & in line w/ other firms. They now offer flexible time off but pretty hard to get time off when continually getting buried w/ more client work from those who have departed and not making the incentives good enough for candidates to come to us.

Pros

I think that even for a job where you expect to work the crazy long hours during busy season, Wipfli does a great job at showing they care about the well-being of their employees during this time. I have constantly had different individuals throughout Wipfli reach out to me during busy season to see how I was doing mentally. Knowing that individuals care is a big part in being able to get through a stressful time of the work year. The catered lunches we receive during this time is also another example of showing that the Company cares about the well-being of their employees. It gives each office a great time to enjoy some quality lunches and bring social interaction to each of the offices. I also think Wipfli is a great Company to work for outside of busy season, when the hours slow down and work is less stressful. It's encouraged to take time off, reset, and enjoy the summer weather. Wipfli understands that everyone needs to hit the reset button after a long, stressful period of time. I interned the summer before I started full-time as an associate, and sometimes Employers during internships like to play-up the Company and not always show it's true colors. I can honestly say that during my time as an intern and when I started full-time this year, the way I have been treated, the culture, the workplace environment, and the overall caring of Wipfli has been consistently great the entire time.

Cons

Like any job in public accounting, the hours are long and they can be stressful.
