In terms of work life balance, this firm has brought hours down over recent years. Most people work 8:30am-6:00pm, but there are times at quarter end where working overtime is needed. Currently the firm is four days in the office and one day at home. The organization has added additional staff in recent years and spent considerable money on new systems to automate, so quality of life is certainly a priority within this organization. They are very supportive of people having an outside life and commitments.

$90,000-$105,000 base salary (potentially higher depending on experience and qualifications), 20% bonus and 100% of all health/medical benefits paid for by the firm!
