      Great Place to Start!

      Marketing intern

      Pros

      Great Pay and benefits, the company treats it's employees very well. You are able to move up if you exceed and the firm is quickly gaining on the big 4. As an intern, you mostly work directly under the main supervisors and shadow their activities and tasks. They pay excellent (pro-rate of full-time employee) and you are treated as an equal unlike some other large companies I have worked for in the past.

      Cons

      As with most large firms, hours can be long and work can be tedious, but otherwise no objections. Keep up the good work and let you're people continue to grow.

      Nice place to start your career

      Pros

      Small atmosphere and helpful staff. Sometimes work was slow and there was nothing to do. Coworkers were friendly and helpful. It was a good learning experience. IT and technology was very impressive. The company had a nice flex program and gave lots of opportunities to work from home. Networking was easy. Lots of young people to work with. Upper management was easy to reach and accessible.

      Cons

      Lots of travel. Be prepared for fluctuating hours. Sometimes role was unclear. In this office, diversity was low. Not many minorities employed at all. Salary was a market rate and was not anything special. Career promotion track was typical of any public accounting firm.
