Pros

Convenient location , decent industry standard software

Cons

This firm is a waste of time. They can't keep anyone halfway decent because they keep firing experienced people to save money by hiring cheap, illiterate interns from small towns. If it's not that, they're shoving off work to the Philippines where the quality is even worse than what was done in-house by our illiterate friends from the small towns. The result is it's now overrun by losers with lowest character and chemical dependencies because upper-management want to milk this place instead of spending what it takes to retain good quality accountants.

WP is improving with time, moving from a firm with a small-firm mindset to recognizing they need to function like the size they are.

Cons

Typically, the same cons you'd see in most public accounting firms.
