Tax Support (Administrative)
Pros: Great benefits, flexibility when one needs to take time off for Doctor Appts., etc. No minimum sick time. I learned a lot as far as technical skills are concerned.
Cons: No support for the administrative staff from HR or management, especially on the tax side. What a no-mans land as far as management is concerned. At year one I felt like my role mattered, by year 15, I felt like I had been chewed up and spit out. Politics play too much of a role and the micro-managing was ridiculous. As for moving up or even laterally within the firm, seniority means absolutely nothing, it is all about who you know and them liking you, not how hard you work or how long you have been there. I thought I left high school behind. Don't go to this company if your sole purpose is to climb up the administrative ladder, and if you do, don't stay for very long. Morale was not good and the hours were endless. The firms main goal is to do more with less admin staff.  It was a very disheartening experience my last few years there after the firm embraced "Vision 2020".
