Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.

Pros

The benefits are great! Just a detail that I think speaks volumes is that they have bereavement leave for pets (as long as its reasonable) The atmosphere- Definitely a workplace that supports its associates and helps us grow rather than giving write-ups. Lots to learn- I feel like I have been given such a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow here. I genuinely feel like if I would've brainstormed the perfect job this would be it.

Cons

The pay could be better, but its not terrible considering the benefits and my position is wfh.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn and grow your career if you make the extra effort. Decent amount of time off in the off season. Offices are clean and provide often provides food and has events to get the office together.

Cons

Pay is not the best. Will drag along promotions if they think they can get away with it. HR has been feeling increasingly hostile since the Marcum takeover. Recent layoffs have increased workloads for employees that stayed. The busy season can be brutal and upper management hawks billable hours ignoring the flow and cycles of some client books causing some employees to become overloaded with work. Outsourcing programs have been a nightmare causing increased budget costs for client books.
