Pros

less hour than a big 4, learn more because you are completing a tax return from start to finish. pay is slightly more competitive starting, but long term career outlook is better and higher paying at a big 4 company. outside of busy season very lax atmosphere; come in late, leave early, browse internet.

Cons

busy season. mandatory 50 chargeable hours which equates to working from 8am-10pm every night and mandatory five hour saturdays.

Pros

good work life balance which is rare. No audit practice therefore tax dominate and controls direction of the firm.

Cons

Each office operates as its own Silo, incompetent staff, too much focus on admin and not on developing better skillsets.
