Pros

1. Good pay and benefits for as long as you can last

Cons

1. Very bad Organization structure 2. Disconnect between Home Office (Houston) and Local Office (Edmonton) 3. Most of past employees were exceptional quality, but they have lost that team 4. Top management in Edmonton is fickle minded and does not live up to its promises and commitments 5. Do not promote consistent ethical work practices and as a result the newer team is very much out there to give clients and company whatever they feel will make them look good for current year financial reporting.
