There's no place like Home!
Pros: This company is very different as it has it's own unique culture. There is a lot of diversity here within the firm and flex programs that allows it's employees to pursue personal goals (as becoming a parent and working flexible hours as well as professional goals which allows employees the opportunity to study for CPA exams and other courses while still working. A specific personality type will appreciate working for this firm...one that has a lot of enthusiasm, determination and drive. Three words that describes the culture here: vibrant, diverse, and enthusiastic.
Cons: Employees here tend to work too many hours which takes time away from personal life activities. Also, the potential for growth within this firm is limited. If you are not a professional who has gone to school for accounting, there is no ladder of success to climb, even with a degree (I am specifically referring to administrative roles as executive or administrative assistant. I have received a bachelor and master's degree while working at this company and I have yet to have found something that can help develop my career. Not many opportunities are given to those who have come from an administrative background which I feel is disheartening.
