Pros

Pay is decent and good benefits. People are generally friendly and try to be helpful

Cons

Culture especially in CP&B group of finance has drastically decreased over the last few years. Executive leadership doesn’t seem to care or “get it”. I’ve never seen moral this low in any org I’ve ever worked at. People openly just mention “oh yah, definitely looking for a new job” on a regular basis or “I hate it here”. Save yourself the headache and hassle and look for a different company.
