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.
