McGladrey has a better work life balance but falls behind in compensation.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company sells its work life balance and does do a better job than big four firms. Half-day Fridays during the summer are good example of the work life balance initiatives the company has implemented. McGladrey does have some other work life balance programs that seem to be more exclusive to managers and above as staff need to be at the client to do their job.

Cons

For being the 5th largest firm in nation, experience staff are not compensation according to their peers at competitor firms. While start paying for a college graduate is only a few thousand dollars behind big four firms, annual raises are 3%-5% lower than the big four. These 3%-5% decrease in raises add up and eventually seniors are lagging in compensation.

Pros

Plenty of good opportunities to learn. You are exposed to many different clients and topics so there is always something new to do.

Cons

Work-life balance in public accounting isn't supported very well. They claim to be proactive in helping employees, but really it's more just talk. Upper management creates "work-life" balance programs, but doesn't ensure that they are carried out.
