Pros

CBIZ Accounting Tax & Advisory Services has good management and I like most, if not all, of the managers I work for. I have a lot of respect for their knowledge. Managers try not to overlook associates for the appropriate promotions. In the Los Angeles office, the managers do not micromanage, which is very important to me. Generally, they will give you an assignment and a deadline. Your job is to make sure you do your best job on the assignment by the deadline (The deadline is usually something you negotiate with your manager). Communication is key to having a successful relationship at CBIZ. Management do not require its employees to work a certain amount of hours, but do ask that they try to meet their "billable" goal.

Cons

The problem with the billable goal is that in the accounting industry, there isn't a steady stream of work throughout the year. For example, there is almost no work in November. As such, the work hours during "busy season" are more than many recent college graduates expect.

Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.
