Pros

Excellent benefits, training, ability to work in different cities for this company.

Cons

When McGladrey (now RSM) aquired the wonderful, boutique CPA firm of Margolis Phipps & Wright, they began cleaning house. Close to 50% of the employees are no longer there because those who did not fit RSM's cookie cutter employee type either left or were fired. A lot of talented people are now at other firms.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
