Pros

Earned a paycheck. Really no other pro other than Remote program (which became a con because you ended up working even longer hours from home).

Cons

-Management extremely unethical -Many people unqualified for positions especially at Assistant Controller level and above -Discriminatory practices commonplace -Extremely, unrealistically long hours (routinely 50-60 hrs/wk) with no relief -Highly political environment; Very cliquish -Antiquated systems -Pay WAY below market -Many members of mgmt treat employees w/open disrespect and are often rude/cruel -Lots of family members working together...NEVER A GOOD IDEA!!! -Lip service to employee appreciation

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.
