- "Great PTO and sick leave programs. You're very encouraged to use all your time once busy season is over in order to relax and spend time with family and loved ones. However, busy season is busy, and it's an 'all hands-on deck' mentality. It's not horrible but be aware of the nature of the business: 55+ hour weeks from January to April."
- “Best part is the flexibility (outside of busy season) to be able to maintain a positive work/life balance. Worst part of the overall quality of life is the emphasis on time tracking and time entry.”
- “During the non-busy times, it is fairly easy to work reasonable hours. However, at certain times of the year working 65-75 hours is required due to client demands, which can be exhausting.”
