Business Outlook
Pros
Summers are generally relaxed and balance out the rigors of a long busy season. High achievers are generally recognized for their actions. Generally good benefits are competitive for non-Big-4 firms.
Cons
Long busy season (can run through April or May) even if working primarily on audits. Micro-management is a real problem for some managers as they refuse to move on from previous responsibilities. Pressure to hit budgets but not to exceed project budgets is ridiculous as finding a balance becomes nearly impossible. High achievers are frequently bogged down with work and expected to take on more and more even when it's not realistic. Pay is below-average but also better than a lot of other large, non-Big-4 accounting firms.
