Pros

Gret place to get entry level accounting experience. Good hours Good benefits Nice building Associates are good people Work from home access for some

Cons

The harder you work the more work you get, the more you mess up the less you get. Management doesnt reward hard work they reward negative work. Work has gone to a manufacturing scheme, meaning you dont do accounting, you do data entry for one piece, wouldnt be suprised if all work is moved to India in 10 years.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
