Pros

Good retirement if you can make it to partner. Most partners make over 1M a year and would receive roughly that over the first 10 years of retirement. 5% profit sharing for employees and you don't have to contribute, which was good, but is dependent on profits and not guaranteed.

Cons

When they were DHG, they were truly a great place to work, but as the firm did the merger with BKD to become Forvis, the place started going down. Firm leadership used to say "We don't want to be Big 4" to actively saying "well that's how Big 4 does it." They did a lot of internal moves that caused increased stress on the entire staff pool and it showed - clients fled as they could tell we were distracted. The firm made decisions that were for the betterment of the partners, not the staff and then used their decisions as a reason for firm performance decline as an excuse to not give good raises or bonuses like in the past.

Pros

Great opportunity to develop tax and accounting skills while working with experienced professionals.

Cons

Limited exposure to different types of tax returns, and the size of the office sometimes made it difficult to gain broad experience across multiple areas.

Pros

The people here are genuinely kind, and there are definitely positives to the culture. The hybrid schedule is a great benefit, and perks like free snacks, coffee, and lunches during busy season are appreciated. The office environment itself is also pleasant and professional.

Cons

The position is labeled as administrative support, but much of the work involves high-level copyediting, proofreading, and formatting under extremely tight deadlines. Overtime is frequent and often expected with little advance notice, especially when projects arrive late in the day. The pace and pressure can become emotionally draining over time, and it can be difficult to maintain work-life balance. Someone who thrives in a very high-intensity, deadline-driven environment may do well here, but for me the constant urgency and unpredictability made it hard to recharge outside of work
