Pros
1. Some people are great to work with if you find that one person who will develop you otherwise you'll just feel lost....staff actually quit because of this. 2. Great learning experience, but you will be overworked. 3. You will great promoted in 2 years no matter how bad you are....unless you're absolutely terrible then you're just screwed. You will be "on probation" through their improvement plan and then "coached" out.
Cons
1. The hiring of staff is pathetic and staff nowadays have a low work ethic. They just want to do their 40 and go home, definitely not public accounting material. 2. Work/life balance is slim to nonexistent depending which group you are in. 3. Partners talk behind your back and do not even follow HR policies. Certain individuals are very unethical and will tell you to eat hours. Doing so will decrease your chargeability and your shot at a bonus, but they will still get theirs. 4. Training is inadequate. When a staff goes to the field with just a pen, I think that' a bit problematic. 5. Travel is absurd and unless you're liked by upper management, they will make you travel non stop. 6. The pay is absurd. They have an employee placement group within the firm. The salary guide that they create indicates that Crowe is underpaying their employees and do not even meet the pay expectations of a mid size company. In addition, the pay between a staff and a senior is so close that it would be less stressful to be a staff. 7. See latter part of Pros # 1, 2, and 3.
