Pros

5 weeks PTO first year, good benefits, will learn a ton in a short period of time.

Cons

Hours, hours, hours. "Busy season" is 9 months out of the year. During that time expect to be at work a minimum of 55 hours per week up to 100 hours, with the most common being 70 to 80 hours.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
