Pros

Great work environment, lots of flexibility. Comp time for staff is a great incentive, especially during busy season. Management cares about the well being of their employees and will work with them to make sure they are happy.

Cons

Promotions at the lower levels are based more on time with the firm rather than merit. Also, it is difficult to transition from one niche to another (for example, moving from the for-profit team to the government team) so your experience may be limited.

Pros

The Firm provides a very good work-life balance with flexibility when necessary. Employee social events, including the annual Hershey Bears game and annual summer picnic, help to promote employee morale. The work environment provides opportunity for professional growth and advancement, with career counselors and mentors to guide along the way. A strong tone at the top is the foundation of the Firm's employee-friendly, quality-focused culture.

Cons

As with any public accounting firm, tax season hours can be difficult for work-life balance.

Pros

Flexible hours and some decent employee events (golf outings). Nice office.

Cons

Bottom of the barrel benefits, insincere coworkers and management, overworked employees. This company takes advantage of the fact that audits are required by law and charge completely ridiculous prices for their service. You feel as if you are doing your clients a disservice

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We are constantly looking at ways in which we can improve as an employer. We look at our benefit offerings several times per year to ensure our program is comparable to our competitors; and we are. We have extremely low employee monthly medical contribution rates (less than $20) and did you know that there is no cost to an employee for vision or dental? In addition to standard benefits, BSSF offers many extras and a fun working environment from the efforts of the Fun, Wellness and Social committees! The firm takes pride in our culture and welcomes any suggestions that come forward through quarterly staff meetings, anonymous suggestions, and true open door policies right up to our president. We like to promote from within and in addition to the bi-annual career counseling meetings, we have developed career paths for each staff to follow so that they know how they can work to advance in their career. Our managers and principals are eager to assist staff to reach their full potential and advance within our firm. We hold very high standards of our employees and require the highest quality for our clients. Unfortunately, as with any public accounting firm, there will be busy times in order to meet client and tax deadlines. As you mentioned, we have flexible working hours and we have recently hired many new 1-4 year staff to help facilitate better work flow and balance. Again, thank you for your feedback.
