Pros

9/80 work week - that is it.

Cons

This company does not know how to utilize technology. They are publically traded but still use blue books. The journal entry support is hand written and the recs are printed off and put into the blue book to be filed away in a cabinet! Has the mentality of "this is the way we have always done it." Most processes are very manual or add no value to the company (in accounting). Management is very unorganized. If you are a young professional and looking to expand your career in accounting stay away!!

Pros

Pay, benefits, and going home at the end of shift are the only good thing about this job.

Cons

Supervisors don't communicate with each other. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing from shift to shift. If you're a woman or person of color, watch your back. Even though there's a union contract that should protect you, it's worthless. If they just don't like you or your political view, they'll fabricate reasons to get rid of you. There's a "salary vs hourly" resentment because hourly gets better pay and benefits through the union. Salary takes that out on hourly. When I was there, overtime wasn't mandatory. That's the only way to have a work life balance, is you get to chose when enough is enough. It's very much a "good old boys club" culture. They make a good show of trying to hire diversity candidates. Again, will find a way to get rid of them as they see fit. They didn't like when I spoke up and told them, it doesn't matter how many women they hire. If we aren't getting the same respect as our male counterparts, it doesn't mean anything. It's such a toxic work environment.
