Pros

Colleagues who genuinely care and respect their fellow employees. A supportive environment founded upon deeply rooted cultural values. Countless opportunities and resources to encourage employees to focus their career in the direction that suits their lifestyle best. You quickly feel like you are welcome and at home at Grant Thornton! I can easily say I admire and aspire to be many of the leaders at this firm, at the local and national level.

Cons

Busy season hours impede upon work life balance. However, the flexible time off policy rewards employees by encouraging them to take time off during slower periods to compensate for the tough hourly demands this industry requires.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
