Pros

We have better relationships with more Fortune 500 companies than I experienced while working at the Big 4. The commission/bonus structure provides unlimited potential. If you work hard and make it through dry spells, eventually you strike oil and can make a ton of money. Unlike the Big 4 where tax is second fiddle to the audit practice, tax is our business. Everyone actually does client service. There aren't multiple layers of overpaid administrative partners. Everyone is paid based on results, and everyone is accountable. Much more proactive than reactive and willing to battle for our clients. You are free to work when, how and where you want, as long as you achieve the results expected of you.

Cons

The commission/bonus structure isn't for the risk-averse. Some of the expense policies are on the frugal side, but at least they are administered fairly.

Pros

Culture is great amongst principle and executive team members. The work is not difficult if you have prior experience in property tax. Benefits are good. Great promotion track if you are willing to play the politics.

Cons

Political environment. Senior Consultants do not mind throwing newer people under the bus for their mistakes. Boundaries are not respected. You are expected to know everything with no real formal training, they do provide some training for the first few weeks but then it drops off and everything needs to be self taught. Management has favorites and you will know instantly.
