Pros

ParenteBeard allows very flexible working schedules for their employees, constantly try to get employees involved in charity events, and provide a challenging work environment that forces employees to learn. The first week of training that ParenteBeard ever offered to me, called “New Hire Training”, we completed exercises that focused on not just my professional development but also my personal development. I think that ParenteBeard realizes that if they develop us as people, they create a much stronger and intelligent worker that benefits everyone, including other employees at the firm, ourselves, and society.

Cons

The largest challenge I face working in public accounting is work-life balance. I find it very difficult to have a life outside of work, while still trying to be involved in various charity events and study for my CPA exam. Another challenge is having to be constantly available to co-workers, even I go on vacation for week. I have a responsibility to check my e-mail every 24 hours, which can be intrusive.

We are pleased to know our professionals appreciate our commitment to the communities we live and work. We understand client requests on your off days can be challenging and commend you for your ongoing dedication. Be sure to discuss your vacation plans with your immediate supervisor if you are unavailable to check your messages during your off period.

Pros

Great work/life balance, upper management understands there is more to life than work, flexibility, opportunity for growth, office culture jives with personal life.

Cons

Some of the offices seem disjointed and dysfunctional at times, cause for job security concern.

Pros

When I started, I was told to work hard and good things would come. I have had opportunities that I would likely have never had in industry. Each day has been spent working with some of the smartest and caring people I have ever worked with. I wake up looking forward to work, which is a good thing since we spend so much time working.

Cons

Budgets, the necessary evil in the industry, are challenging to maintain when the firm continues to hire staff without experience. Although the less experienced staff are great to work with and eager to learn, it makes it sometimes next to impossible to stay within budget. Understandably removed from the day to day work, upper management needs to remember the time it takes teach new staff. I know management communicates regularly about staff schedule, however it is often communicated that some staff do not receive as much work and that the work is unbalanced. In my opinion, budgets and scheduling going together in that, for example, if I am responsible for a project with a tight budget I am less inclined to ask for less experienced staff to join. I would likely continue to request a select group of staff to join.
