Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Necessary starting point but not a long term career for everyone
Pros: Lots of PTO (5 weeks) but with all the hours worked during busy season it evens out.
Early leave on Fridays during the summer.
Decent perks (i.e. summer outings, free gifts and food, yearly training in Orlando or other parts of the country, etc.)
Some freedom to come in late or leave early and get up an go out for walks/coffee breaks.
Work from home a few times a year.
Locations all over the country and world so transfers are not so hard.
Necessary to get good accounting jobs in the private world.  Almost every place prefers Big 4 experience.
Cons: Busy season = no life.
Really need to get your CPA to make it up the ladder.
Too many administrative things need to be done in addition to your actual job.
