Pros

Benefits were pretty good, 401k contribution. Other departments such as Marketing, Sales, and Engineering seem to be run smoothly.

Cons

This was THE ABSOLUTE WORST environment to work in. There was ZERO training from management. They expect you to come in and understand their ancient system and every little detail of the company. Managers offered no assistance, were extremely nasty to everyone which is probably why 6 people (including myself) Had left in less than 9 months. I had even reached out to HR to voice these concerns and there was no improvement. There is such a lack of communication and the month end close process was a disaster where there was times we worked past midnight. I saw no room for improvement/ learning, NO one is friendly in the Finance/ General Accounting team. I had even had current employees reach out to me to see if I left due to managers because they had similar feelings.

Pros

Stable, conservative, no big risk taking, fair, ethical, the company is fair and tries to do it's best for its employees

Cons

Good old boys network, can fall out of favor easily, fast track positions are given to select few from corporate, it's nearly impossible to get a P&L role unless your an MBA recruit. If you don't fit the management mold in terms of thinking and presentation you're never going to advance. Make a lot of good looking charts and you'll get promoted - I've rarely seen a closed loop in terms of whether a business manager accomplished what they presented.

Pros

They have decent pay and average benefits. They have a good working environment with mostly good people. They have average managers.

Cons

They look more for 4 year degrees rather than work experience or knowledge. They have to many managers and not enough workers.
