Pros
You learn a lot, as you are exposed to a lot of different industries and different types of accounting software. The best aspect of the job is the other individuals you get to work with though. You may be working on 4-10 different clients at any time, with different teams on each client. Great place to grow your career as an accountant without having to get a CPA and work at a Big 4.
Cons
- Long hours - For the entire time I worked there, we were always understaffed - Management only cares about how many billable hours you charge - Your year-end bonus is tied directly to how many billable hours you charge, creating a toxic environment that favors those who work constantly - unlimited PTO is a lie. It's really only 10 days which is very minimal, and not very many holidays. As your year-end bonus is tied to billable hours, if you take any time off over 10 days you directly impact that billable hour goal. If you want to take 11 days off, you have to make up that 8 billable hours in order to still meet your goal for the bonus. - Management is not aligned with the wants and needs of their employees. If they were, there wouldn't be as much turnover. Unfortunately management is a group of all males who think the same as each other. They promote other individuals (primarily males) who think the same as them. For example I personally witnessed a male individual be promoted into a top leadership position within the company, even though multiple lower-level employees had complained about his leadership style, rhetoric, and other things.
