      Pros

      Really none. Just regular office. Maybe the pay raise is consider high. 10% for me last time.

      Cons

      Terrible long hours. 80 min hours during busy season per week. You get call from HR is you don’t meet the hours. I heard manager expect 100 hours. All needs to be billable. You also get call if you have unbillable hours. HR are the one who assign you work and they are not/were never accountant so they give you ridiculously unreasonable prep hours. They fired my staff the day of they ask the person to leave. Called the person at 10am and told to leave at 3pm. Very insulting and disrespectful. People are not helpful at all because everyone is busy at making the minimum billable hours. Whole vibes just so bad. There’s no standard work paper so if you have no experience and just start off, you won’t learn anything. Unless you already know how to do tax, or else you will suffer. Seniors facing pressure all the time. I guess that’s same every public accounting. They said there’s employee discount on tickets but it’s no use because it’s only like 10% off. U are better off to buy tickets when the venue has discount.

      Pros

      The pay is decent and if you work for a good company inside Citrin that got acquired, it’ll be fun. You’ll have the small little community but the culture is slowly dying each year with all the acquisitions going on. You’ll get chances here and there to win a gift card and that’s it. Another pro if you’re leaving is there’s tons of clients you work on that you have connections with, so you can probably work for them after. You can also work remote

      Cons

      The clients think you only work for them. They’re demanding, which makes the managers (some are actually nice and push back to clients) even more demanding and question you why you didn’t meet their unrealistic deadlines. You’re telling the workers in India what to do repeatedly and the client gets charged an insane amount for all the work. They stack an insane amount of clients on you because it’s “great experience” and leave you to figure everything out. The work is basically messy every month, but it’s ok as long as citrin is profiting from it. One point that everyone at this company agrees with: IT is nonexistent. Accounting or doing your work is not the hardest part here. IT basically goes out of their way to block every site and download so you can’t do your work. You either have to find loopholes or just be stuck in onboarding forever because IT doesn’t want to do anything. If your company gets acquired by citrin, it’ll be downhill from here and good luck to you.
