Pros

There's free water and coffee.

Cons

The average age of the company is most likely in the upper 40s low 50s, the majority of the people are not technologically savy and just from knowing how to use a pivot table you are in the top 1% of excel skills. If you want a culture of nice hardworking people, this is not it. I feel everyone who stays here long term have some weird social dysfunction, or are inept at their job and cannot go anywhere else. CBIZ's main way of acquiring more business is by acquiring smaller firms. Which as a result made the internal make up of the firm a mess. Entering hours into two systems is a pain, and our phone system is from the civil war. Projects them selves suck, multiple times i have done repeat projects where it was obvious whoever did the last report had no idea what theyre doing, and i question if they even did the work or if they just made it up. Our engagement letters are often contain errors, i dont understand how there can be errors on our engagement letters ? It just makes the entire process a lot lot more difficult.

Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.
