      Pros

      Blue places a strong emphasis on ensuring team members receive adequate training to excel in their roles.

      Cons

      One of the most demanding aspects of this role is working frequent late nights and weekends due to the workload. Blue requires extensive travel and overnights, often to remote and uninspiring small towns which can be isolating and mentally exhausting. Low wages make it challenging to justify the sacrifices in terms of time. Cliques at the management level resulted in exclusionary behavior, negative impacts on team dynamics and career growth, biases in decision-making, communication barriers, and increased turnover.

      Pros

      Great development programs and learning opportunities. Caring people - some flexibility in scheduling (depends on the office and the Director-In-Charge). Employees very dedicated to clients. You will always find at least one team with good coach(es) in every office. There are a lot of good people who work for Blue - knowledgeable, client-focused, team players. Great internship program and internal promotion opportunities.

      Cons

      Still controlled by the 'good old boys' network in upper management. Little to no diversity in upper leadership positions, particularly senior leadership. C-Suite hires in the past 6 years have all been white, middle-aged men. Lack of equal compensation for women common in newly hired experienced roles. Blue is frequently out of the market when it comes to compensation for levels above staff accountant and non-accounting roles in general. Turnover due to compensation, remote work and poor leadership. Talk of 'one firm' is just talk. There is a lack of standardization of procedures and consistent application of company policies. "Favorites" of the DIC/sr leadership benefit in some offices more than others when it comes to flexible schedules, work assignments, merit increases, etc. Hard to participate in initiatives for company growth or recruiting that are non-chargeable and still be able to bonus. Overall lack of recognition for participation in these efforts.
