Pros
Built lasting relationships with co-workers. Volunteer opportunities available (if your industry partner allows you to participate). Occasional happy hours to help you forget how much these people screw you over on a daily basis.
Cons
Busy season was a year-round event in the Columbus office. You will be expected to work over 70 hours a week. Blame is always pushed down to the lowest level. Seniors & managers constantly fail their staff because they are afraid to "step out of line" and speak up for them. The environment is toxic, to say the least. During my time at Crowe, nearly 30 people were turned over. Recognition is few and far between. Once your in the dog house, you will stay there until you eventually leave or fired. Staff can barely support the client workload and probably 50% of work is outsourced to different offices. Partners continue to sell knowing they can't retain staff. Promotions in CREV will not happen unless you devote 100% of your time to client work. You will be tested on a daily basis and feel like your walking on eggshells.
