Pros

The only good thing about Baker Tilly Detroit is the other staff. The staff supported each other when the managers were not helpful.

Cons

Note above I said only the staff because anyone above the staff level have issues. Managers and Partners expect new hires to learn quickly (first project it is not okay to learn from) and if they don't then they are shunned for the remainder of the time they are working at Baker Tilly. I consistently saw staff used as the scapegoat and managers never took responsibility for their lack of accounting knowledge, which a lot of them lack. The only time I saw a staff on the tax side get promoted was if they threatened to quit. Unfortunately I feel like my career as well as my fellow staff's careers regressed. Sadly this was not a good first experience. I recommend looking at other accounting firms.

Pros

Very flexible schedule, fully remote, very nice and helpful full-time staff to guide you, learned a lot, overall a great temp job with a great firm.

Cons

I wish they allotted more time for training, which was one week. I felt like I needed an extra week. The amount of information thrown at you as a first-timer can feel overwhelming, but there are people there to guide you and very helpful self-training modules and materials. Might not be right for a person who has trouble learning on their own, as most of the training is self-administered.
