Pros
When it wasn't tax season you had your weekend to reflect on what you did wrong in your life to end up here. In addition, there really are great people that work here. It's just too bad none of them have any say in what happens to you.
Cons
This is JUST for the New York office. I'm pretty sure the good reviews for this office is from HR trying to get good people to work here. Trust me, it isn't worth it. The company doesn't care about it's employees or the quality of life of its workers. The tax department is a revolving door and all that is left is just a group that LOVES to procrastinate EVEN during tax season. For the small perks you get, you'll have to hear about how much it costs the company. Promotion? Be ready to brown nose the right people. But, as much as life sucks for the life of the accountant in NYC office, it is even worse for the support staff. Even though facilities and the admin staff work hard to keep this place a float, they are treated like second class citizens. There are no perks. No sabbaticals, no bonuses and there is no where to move up. Snow storms? I hope you have a shovel to dig your way to the office. Snow days are minimal and you'll have to hear about how much the company lost when they gave you one. In conclusion New York City is full of modern offices that care about the people that make them a success. This isnt 1982. Don't waste your time. Go for some place that will treat you with respect and pay you better.
