Pros

Get to meet loads of new faces due to high turnover of employees, good location of kPMG Service Centre Broadgate - central in Leeds and the offices are clean

Cons

Day to day life in the service center is a stark contrast to what is advertised is in job vacancies - so many discover. (Yes high turnover in this place). The working environment is unbelievably dull, very poor communication and careless with staff and work itself is very limited, in fact mundane - . Pay isn't all that great and self initiative is stamped out with all the heavy procedures of do and don's.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
