Pros

Top 75 uk firm of accountants

Cons

No proper training structure for trainees, only other trainees actually train you up as senior members are too busy and the company dont want them using there high charge out time on training someone up. No communication between managers and trainees some days no managers wouldnt even say a word to me.

Pros

Working alongside very good accountants you will learn a lot about statutory accounts. Generally friendly employees, good study programme.

Cons

Salary is awful, everyone is relatively local to the office so not particularly interesting and has a small town mentality. Work can be very repetitive with little client interaction or understanding of the business.

Pros

Dress down Friday Fruit Apprenticeship study support (no clawbacks compared to usual training agreement)

Cons

Depending on your manager and department you can expect to receive a variety in support. Certain managers have been promoted to managers only based on their technical ability, thus creating problems when trainees look to managers for advice as some do not have people skills. On the job training is far below expectations, very little support. Work for directors vary, some are extremely rude and will use colourful language to get their point(s) across. No HR department Salary increments are far below market rate. Company is focused on commerciality although when WIP/ budget has been exceeded, directors/ managers ask staff to put time to admin which distorts actual time cost vs budget and ruins individual's chargeability, which results in unpaid overtime to meet budget due to low bills and large focus on WIP.
