Audit understaffing seems to be a never ending issue and pay is not reflective of stress/hours encountered long term.
Pros: - Sponsors you towards gaining the Chartered Accounancy qualification, all training material and tutors provided, high pass rates.
- Exposure to many big name clients can be great for you CV and family to boast about.
- Size of company allows large variety of opportunities to move internally where roles are available.
Cons: - Excessive hours for the pay given.
- Constant understaffing issues. The firm is recruiting heavily but isn't doing enough to retain staff.
- Senior management have been reluctant to improve pay and conditions for years, especially given the hours involved.
- Flexible working etc is very dependent on what grade/business unit you are in.  The firm preaches it but not all departments follow it.
