Pros

The only good thing about Baker Tilly Detroit is the other staff. The staff supported each other when the managers were not helpful.

Cons

Note above I said only the staff because anyone above the staff level have issues. Managers and Partners expect new hires to learn quickly (first project it is not okay to learn from) and if they don't then they are shunned for the remainder of the time they are working at Baker Tilly. I consistently saw staff used as the scapegoat and managers never took responsibility for their lack of accounting knowledge, which a lot of them lack. The only time I saw a staff on the tax side get promoted was if they threatened to quit. Unfortunately I feel like my career as well as my fellow staff's careers regressed. Sadly this was not a good first experience. I recommend looking at other accounting firms.

Pros

Good Benefits, Generous amount of Holidays and PTO, Hybrid

Cons

Long hours, Toxic culture, Aweful management who have inflated egos that treat staff as they are minions, with no respect. AWFUL pay rate, Sept to January you will have no life during open enrollment. Non stop travel, mandatory Saturday work during December. Every day you work 8:30 - 5:30 then you are expected to go home and work more overtime during busy season. Mandatory OT can be upwards of 10 plus hours per week.
