Pros

The department uses up-to-date financial software, including Hyperion and SAP Business Warehouse. Knowledge of these software programs will help you build a corporate finance career.

Cons

This was absolutely the worst work environment I could ever have imagined. There were no real opportunities for growth and performance reviews and feedback were not objective. Managers lacks integrity and professionalism. Training is virtually nonexistent. Input from management is demoralizing, as opposed to constructive. Mentoring is only available for a select few. The job is misrepresented as a "financial analyst" role. "Financial systems analyst" may be a more appropriate title. The focus of the department is on data mining, as opposed to analysis and interpretation.

Pros

Consistent, busy, and you get to help people through tough situations and educate others on what it means to be protective. I am set schedule M-F and off on weekends.

Cons

Prices are a bit higher, and depending on how big your office is, you will be on the phone all day and feel drained afterwards.
