Pros
-Great place to work and office encourages communication and team building between Accounting and other departments. -I was able to work in a great team that support each other and allow for flexible schedule when needed. -Management is adaptable. Adequate response during the Covid. Started with extra PTO for high risk employees and pre-planning work from home so that the disruption to work from home for office employees is minimal. -Annual award and team building events to help foster a closer working relationship with each other. -Office events like bagel Friday, monthly birthday celebration are great and allow me to interact with people from different departments. -They are working on documenting a lot of work process to help new hires. While it wasn't quite there when I joined, there is constant efforts to make improvements.
Cons
-Echoing another review, the compensation I think is quite competitive and there is annual growth in your wages. However, they are mostly incremental. But there is room for promotion and I have seem it happen quite often. But can take a while so make sure you give a fair assessment of your salary when you join and not undersell yourself.

The ONLY con I can think of is the price of Healthcare. I hope that they look into better options for us. With everything that has happened in 2020 I think we would all rest easier knowing we could have great coverage at a better price

We are so happy that you joined our team and are having a positive experience in the early stages. We have focused extensively on that onboarding process and want every new associate to get off to a great start. Our people are the best in the industry and dedicated to our success, which makes it really important for us to recognize them and put together events that show how much we appreciate it all that they do. That’s also why our Compensation Team reviews market surveys on a frequent basis to make sure we remain competitive in areas like healthcare benefits. We are always open for feedback so please do not hesitate to reach out to us . Thank you — Essex Human Resources
