Pros

Regular paycheck although it's only once a month. Some people are nice. Some clients are nice to work for. Finally rented a professional office space.

Cons

Pay is kind of low and the so called overtime bonus is kind of a joke. Not time and a half plus you have to wait a year to collect it. Communication is bad at this firm. At times I felt I do not have a boss as I was completely ignored by people I was reporting to. Unlike Big 4, CFGI invests nothing in its employees. They just want you to work as many hours as possible and not take vacation or get sick as it would lower your overtime bonus. Trainings are useless, they put the entire firm in the training room, no matter what level you are, and the training materials are very basic. Workforce is very disconnected. Horrible work life balance. Unpredictable schedules. Benefits are very expensive.

Pros

- Hybrid/Remote - Good work life balance - Smaller clients Company is trying to grow which provides more visibility within teams. If you want to be a part of a company that is in its growing stages this would be a good fit. All ex big 4 employees who left for a better work life balance with less complex engagements.

Cons

- Lack of well established internal controls and outside resources - Bare minimum company benefits - Pay is below market level Coming from a big 4, I was not expecting the lack of resources provided. It is hard to do the job without the proper level of resources. Not a well established firm yet. Felt like the company was trying to present themselves at the big 4 caliber, when it is no where even close to the top 10 accounting firms. Felt like a huge step down in my career.
