Pros

Great work life balance opportunity. Opportunity to learn how to become more than proficient at tax research, data analysis and understanding tax legislation its most "granular" level. A great opportunity to work with some intelligent and driven individuals in an environment that can become like a second family.

Cons

Leadership has recently headed the wrong direction, especially in the SUT practice (Ryan's "core competency"). Opportunistic roles were afforded to one-dimensional employees ("glorified AP clerks") who were fortunate enough to find themselves on the most profitable projects with the firm during the early on in Dallas, TX (State with considerable amount of sales and use tax paid to its Tax Authorities and also a state where you can "buy" legislation). Leadership lacks strategic management level experience and ironically holds other competent hard working individuals back from obtaining the same opportunities they were afforded.

Pros

The vacation policy is phenomenal! Very flexible and accommodating. The salary is good.

Cons

-Bonuses and awards are only for the very high producers. There is an annual meeting to dole out awards. The same groups tend to win each year, leaving the majority of employees to feel shamed and left out. -I felt deceived when I departed. I was told I would receive my departure payment at the end of the month in which I departed; however, the money due to me was not received until 2.5 months later and put me in financial difficulty. I felt quite deceived. -I didn't have consistent work, but when I did, I worked 65+ hours per week, and often worked 7 days a week. It was horrible and I didn't see family for weeks at a time. -The 401(k) matching was very minimal at best. It was quite disappointing.

Pros

Decent starting salary and benefits. No set work hours (this is a pro and a con). Working with a group(s) of bright young professionals that are more than willing to extend a hand to assist with a project. The bonus structure (if and when it ever works)

Cons

100% pigeonholed into niche markets of tax making an individual less marketable the longer they stay with the firm. Starting salary tends to higher than market average, but does not really move much over the course of your career. I believe they make it higher to make a fresh college student more enticed to take the position. Work-life balance tends to be pretty terrible for a firm claiming they have superb flexibility using MyRyan. Yes you can work from home, but you always feel like you are on the clock especially when you get emails from your manager late in the evening and on weekends. The list could go on, but I will end it here. The list of cons far surpasses that of the pros.
