Awful work life balance and treated like a number
Pros: They pay for your ACA qualification
The PwC name looks good on your CV
Regular socials (free meals at nice restaurants)
Cons: Long hours are expected as standard, it's impossible to have a life outside work and partners always talk about the importance of work life balance but it never happens in practice.
Difficult to book any holiday unless you book it a year in advance.
The so-called "busy season" from Jan to March which in reality lasts from Jan to December.
Having to put up with rude, unhelpful, awkward clients who talk to you like crap and receiving no support or back up from job managers - rather they go out of their way to keep the clients sweet.
