Vantaggi
Great health insurance (if you're insuring yourself, otherwise incredibly expensive)
Svantaggi
KCoe has grown by sucking up smaller firms all over the United States, and salary/compensation is based on the amount of revenue associates bring in (WIP/Production), which, of course, is normal. However, if you join a recently acquired firm, or your firm works on smaller, therefore cheaper clients (which does not necessarily correlate with cost of living...) then your compensation will reflect that. I just passed the CPA Exam and I make less than 40,000 a year in a college town of over 35,000 students alone - AKA rent is out of control and my COL does not match my income. It's terrible, and for someone who had a stellar GPA in college and is 2 classes away from his master's degree, it's downright unacceptable. It doesn't matter where you are in the United States - CPAs/CPA candidates are worth more than that. And they don't care. Don't expect them to. They'll tell you what they know you want to hear for you to say Yes to their outrageous terms. Let me help you: don't say yes. Walk away.
