      Horrible place to work

      Internal audit associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Benefits, that was it.

      Cons

      Horrible place to work if you have a family to take care of. They don't care if you have someone you have to take care of at all; I had a manager tell me "Find someone else to take care of your responsibilities." Really? You're going to tell me to find someone else to take care of my kids? There is absolutely no work/life balance, sure they talk it up and say they have a great system in place, but it is just a façade, nothing but a lie. This is a great job if you are fresh out of college with no obligations and can work late, but if you are starting new but a little older, they have no compassion or understanding. Kept getting schedule 2 1/2- 3 hours from my home. When you have to travel 2 1/2 hours and have to be home by 8pm, that means you have to leave around 5:30. I asked if they could schedule me on clients that were closer to where I lived so I could spend more time in the office (which they did have) but they refused to accommodate my request. If you are in your mid 30's starting there be prepared to work with a lot of obnoxious people in there 20's, the company is pretty much run by inexperienced people with no heart. Also, my first 5 months after I started consisted of being "available." I sat around in the office for 8 hours a day waiting to see if anyone needed my help. I got paid to do nothing, which might sound good, but I also learned nothing and gained no experience.

      PwC Tampa SDC Assurance

      Process specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When I signed up for the Tampa SDC, I was told there would be plenty of training and opportunities. So far, only the training part was true. The associates are all hired contract to start, and supervisors/seniors force rank the associates. Unfortunately, all that initial talk of hiring people fulltime turns out to be a sham: PwC doesn't rank you based on how hard you work or how motivated you are...They hire you based on "fit"...whether people like you. Of the associates that came to the SDC, only a few truly got fulltime, and of those even fewer will get professional opportunities. It's not what you know, it's who you know. It makes sense to come here if you're that perfect fit: You just finished your masters or college degree, don't have much work experience, and are looking for a potential career start in accounting. If you're older or experienced, buyer beware.

      Cons

      As someone who has a masters in accounting, work experience in private accounting, and some work experience in public accounting prior to joining PwC, obviously my work quality was very high. I showed great leadership and tried to foster relationships. Unfortunately, ultimately none of that mattered, and fulltime offers were given to young individuals who never took initiative. Clearly, what PwC REALLY wants are the soldiers to fit their business model. When upper management gives speeches about "hiring the best and the brightest" that isn't the truth at all. If you're that fit, it makes sense; if not, then no amount of quality work, speed, relationships, work ethic, or leadership will matter <- You WILL get thrown under the bus.

      Director

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, flexibility when able, nice office space and some desire to connect with the people from the senior partner.

      Cons

      Not a very inclusive environment. Lack of transparency at the leadership level. Good old boys club from director and up. Back office applications are terrible. Top heavy and often the team is not capable of delivering so the burden is on the director. Lack of accountability at the partner level. HR is not independent.
