Pros

MBAF is a really good environment to work in. Good benefits and flexible schedules outside of busy season.

Cons

Unfortunately on the audit side, there is is only one group in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale office that care about their staff and put in the necessary time to teach. The rest of the groups provide absolutely no work/life balance, no teaching methods, and make accounting more boring than it already is. There is a director working there that has gotten absolute terrible reviews as a superior, yet management does nothing to improve.

Pros

Very collegial environment among staff. They are very welcoming to new staff. The firm tries to make busy season enjoyable with after-hours firm events and necessary trainings. In spite of my comments below, I do think that HR is trying to make the firm an enjoyable place to work. I think Tony truly cares about the future of the firm, but is in a position that he is surrounded by yes (wo)men who are too afraid to tell him about the political BS that his partners are committing on the firm in the name of self preservation and paychecks.

Cons

The firm tries to give the appearance of concern for employees which sometime comes off as insincere, although much of the time it is sincere. They place too much focus 'Best Places to Work' surveys and not enough on actual employee concerns. Your career's success is dependent on the Partner that you work for. Does your partner specialize in an area that you don't but they like you, then you aren't switching specialties to your chosen specialty. Most people leave the firm because they do not feel that are being listened to. I've seen people leave at all levels because of this. Close to the lowest PTO in town, PTO only, no sick/personal days. Benefits are awful and health insurance is a joke unless you are young AND healthy with no dependents.

Pros

Lots of community involvement. Can make you feel like part of a family if you're in with the right group. Salary is just about the only positive.

Cons

No training at all. Zilch. Expected to just jump in and know exactly how and why to do something. Travel is a requirement. Felt like living in a frat house, people were separated by cliques.
