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

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
