      Solid Company

      Pros

      Great overall culture. Co-workers genuinely enjoy each other's company, to the point where friendships extend beyond the office. Happy hours and social events are regularly scheduled within the company but people get together by choice as well. Being in the trenches with people that you can share a genuine laugh with makes the late nights much more bearable. Salaries are competitive and in line with other major accounting firms. Career opportunities and promotions are very obtainable if you put the years in.

      Cons

      The typical grudges against public accounting apply. 8 hour days are virtually non existent, as would be expected. The worst part is the hierarchy of power. If your superior still has work to do, you aren't going anywhere.

      A Middle-Market "Big Four" Feel

      Tax associate

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Although McGladrey is largest middle-market public accounting firm, the promotion process is much less structured than firms on this size. For example, instead of only getting promoted to senior associate after 2 years, if you express your desire for a promotion and work with your career advisor to accomplish specific goals, you could potentially get the promotion much quicker. Also, McGladrey doesn't limit the amount of each level of employee which they employ, which means you don't have to wait for position to open up in order to be promoted.

      Cons

      McGladrey has been growing tremendously in the past few years, which is fantastic as far as job security is concerned; however, the tremendous growth also means the company is understaffed in its highest growth areas. This severe understaffing in certain groups doesn't seem to be getting better any time soon due to turnover and what seems like no desire to address this issue by partners. This makes busy seasons even worse than those experienced by the Big Four - even though this is a middle-market-focused company - so those seeking a smaller-fiirm feel should no longer come to this firm.
