Getting cheap

Pros

Typical public accounting pros. Quality experience, travel (if you are into it). Busy season meals. Staff sabbatical option (more of a ploy to get people to take an unpaid vacation in the summer)

Cons

Typical public accounting experience, long days, demanding, etc. Also, in general the firm is getting cheaper, and moving away from having some work life balance. There was a big movement last year to go more lean, which is good if you are on top, bad if you aren't. There really is a nervous feeling growing even for quality performers.

Pros

Job security. Its almost guaranteed you will have a job if you work 12 hours a week including weekends during January- April 30.

Cons

Most of the managers are toxic bunch. You work 12 hour weeks and do everything you can. When it comes to evaluation the mangers will always bash the seniors and staff to make an excuse why the audit was not completed on time when its the managers fault. The managers are over worked and they review a day or two before the deadline and leave 100 review notes to be cleared which leaves no time for the team to clear all those notes. Some of the comments are: "why is this work paper saying 2019 ? Are we auditing 2019 or 2020 ? You need to do better reviewing your own work" petty stuff like that. A lot of staff and seniors quit after getting 1 or 2 years experience. The firm claims there is a lot of opening due to the firm is growing. That is a lie. There is opening cuz ppl quit. Advise : join only if you are desperate and if you can't land any other job.

Terrible workplace

Pros

So chaotic that you can be forgotten for days

Cons

Only three things are important to leadership - profit, profit and profit. This is a poor place to work in. Career development, learning and personal development are non existence. Toxic and chaotic environment that encourage and reward just one thing - efficiency. If you can do things fast, regardless quality, then you'll succeed in RSM.
