Pros

Great people (for the most part), strong perks and benefits, PTO, competitive compensation, commitment to diversity.

Cons

There is a strong "us" versus "them" between client service professionals and the business process group staff. While there are some Partners who treat their admins respectfully and with dignity, others are rude and abrasive beyond anything I've seen and Leadership tolerates it.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
