Pros

Flex Scheduling in non-close weeks for accounting personnel, but have longer hours to compensate (more of a neutral than a pro) Pay is above average compared to similar positions in the area Ability to work from home at times due to having laptops and remote connectivity Plenty of work so job security is a non-issue

Cons

PTO is minimal - 10 days, 6 holidays Management has a tendency to micromanage No sick leave 401k match is minimal and not able to contribute til 6 months in Raises are miniscule Not nearly as much room for upward momentum as you are sold on at hire Medical benefits don't start til 3 months after hire Very corporate "follow policies" attitude even when they don't make sense - again more of an issue with management

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
