Pros

Flexibility. That is what is clearly the biggest pro about working at Plante Moran. You don't have to punch a clock. If you have outside obligations, family, doctors, etc, then you just need to make sure you communicate appropriately and get your work done. I like to work out in the morning and this causes me to get in a little later than most people, but I have the flexibility to do that and just work later to make... up for it. Unlimited time off helps extensively with flexibility as well.

Kontras

The biggest con of working at Plante Moran is the hours requirements. This isn't specific to Plante Moran, any accounting firm suffers from this and in my opinion it is something that will need to change as time goes on as younger generations don't want to work 20% or more than the average 40 hour work week. Another con would be that we are always so busy that it often feels like you can never dedicate enough time... on any particular project to really improve efficiencies for future years.

Focus less on meeting hours goals and more on improving efficiencies even if in the short run that means that realization on particular projects goes down.

Pros

Work life balance and compensation

Kontras

Hours during the busy season

Pros

Plante Moran has been one of the Top 100 companies to work for for 21 years, and the company strives to live up to that title. Everyone, from the partners to the staff, strives to make Plante the best team environment it can be. When you start, you are assigned a a buddy with slightly more experience as well as a team partner to help with any questions or issues that you may encounter. They also takes an interest in... your goals and how you want to grow within the firm so that both you and the firm benefit. I also gained a lot of varied experience at Plante Moran. Due to being middle market, staff are able to work a wider variety of clients throughout the year as well as getting exposure to a lot of different sections of the audit. By the end of my first year, I had touched almost every section of the audit including helping prepare financial statements.

All the cons associated with Plante are the ones that you would see from other public accounting firms, though perhaps not as severe. Busy season is stressful, and there is a lot of learning on the job, which can be frustrating at times no matter how much others are helping you. However, all the support mentioned above very much helps lessen these issues.
