Pros

Simple basic systems and the team members are nice, very new and unexperienced. Most of my team of 12 had less than 1 year at BLN. Turn-over is horrendous! Wasn't there long enough to understand why but you could feel it in the air at work that something isn't just right.

Cons

They'd prefer very old 1990's school of hiring way too many inexperience finance people using mostly Excel financial models that are sometimes confusing due to lack of Excel experience(s). Management doesn't like new ideas or any improvements of workbooks and/or systems even if they are free. Wasted many days and weeks just trying to tie period end at times and IT won't let you know and you'll be pulling out your hair trying to figure out why you numbers don't tie out.

Pros

Good management, bonus opportunities, training

Cons

The pay is low. Staffing isn’t enough to meet workload, no performance based raises for entry level employees, and very few promotions available
