Pros

Work from home (with pressure to come into the office)

Cons

Bad pay, awful culture. Experienced rude coworkers like I never have anywhere else. Consultant role was advertised as helping clients implement and help secure existing implementations, quickly turned into a boring paper-pushing affair with sole focus on selling more Microslop licensing to clients without ever actually making them more secure. Pay was pretty embarrassing for my experience and reading around on the internet it seems like RSM tries everything they can to get out of even paying the meager bonus they offered me. Didn't stick around long enough to find out if they'd do the same to raises, but I have my hunches. Diversity is great if you are already white, male and have an MBA. Otherwise you won't find a lot of that. Sr management was a joke, seemed fine when ordering everyone around but never saw any of them work projects. I don't know if this is common in accounting firms, but wanting access to my personal accounts felt very invasive. I refused to submit my information and found another role very soon after I was informed this would be necessary.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
