Pros

Very helpful coworkers who are willing to help (although a lot of them are not happy working there) Got closer to God - You better pray your desk is not a burning dumpster. It pays the bills, I guess.

Cons

Lack of Training - They expect you to know how to do things that they never train you for. High Level of Office Politics - Super Toxic and Turnover is pretty high. Even the previous HR Director decided to leave. There is no growth opportunity - They uploaded two marketing videos to Youtube (their first two videos), and one of my ex-coworkers, who has been there for over 20 years, sarcastically says "What Unlimited Opportunity? Did I miss an email?" 401K plan sucks - First firm that I worked at where my 401K went negative returns. Like How? If you ended up on a bad desk and you actually WANT to be in this industry (not HAVE but WANT), you best buy Chap-Sticks wholesale from Costco cause your lips going to get extra sore and chapped after the butt kissing you do. Also, You better be BFF with the partners whose name is on the NKSFB initial. You will be fireproof. NKSFB is a friends and family business - they hire a lot of people with no experience. When I asked how they managed to get the job, they usually say their relatives know one of the partners. Account Manager on the desk I worked on, know very little about Microsoft Excel, it is embarrassing. How can you work in an accounting firm knowing very little Excel, and more importantly becoming an Account Manager? You guessed it, they have extremely chapped lips. Annual Reviews are purely BS. They make up promises they can't keep. They will fire you if you speak up about their BS, keep your head down.

Pros

The people that you work with are all generally great. There is a really positive environment of everyone helping everyone else out. Some of the partners are also like this, very willing to step in a help out doing "Assistant" work when things get tough.

Cons

The upper upper management feels severely out of touch with the employees of the company. I understand everything has obviously been crazy with the pandemic and many companies had to lay people off or force people to take pay cuts. We had one round of layoffs at the beginning and then we were told there would be no raises until 2021 (which there were). However, after receiving weekly emails from the head partner explaining how there would be cuts/no raises, there were also slews of emails celebrating new hires and about a dozen people were promoted to partner. We also consistently had emails talking about BLM protests, calling them "riots" and pretty much denouncing the whole movement, seriously, because the head partner wanted to be able to eat inside restaurants. On a more general level, there is an incredibly toxic culture of being expected to give 110% to every single client, every single second of every day. We are overworked, to say the least, and not at all compensated fairly. Our insurance is unbelievably expensive (outside of CA especially) and the PTO is just not sufficient.

Pros

Large firm benefits. Most of the people on the staff levels are great and very hard working people.

Cons

Too much nepotism. If you get on the bad side of a partner you get fired. They recently let the best manager I have ever worked with go for a stupid reason. She was the best thing going for them. She was the only manager that actually worked.
