Cons
It might not be so bad when you start at this place. You will quickly learn that "payroll auditor" means data enterer. However, you must wear professional clothing and enter data all day... 8 hours/day. This is done without music or some sort of distraction to the mind-numbing work you are doing. You are salary, but still have to take set 15 minute breaks oh and your lunch time better be exactly one hour. Also, you must start at 8:00 AM and you cannot leave until 5:00 PM, no sooner no later. If you arrive at work at 8:05, you will get a lecture about how you must be at work by 8:00 sharp to enter data. You have an "unofficial" 3 month review. However, they don't tell you that this "unofficial" review might somehow end up with in the hands of the Trustees or people who hire the audit department. An auditor got fired for having a "needs improvement in work productivity" on his "unofficial" review, because his "unofficial" review fell in the hands of upper management. After your 3 month review you will learn that the managers don't really pay attention to any hard work you might do. You will also notice that the people who get promoted are only promoted because they have been at the company longer than a year and not many people make it past one year. So, just make sure you are friendly to your managers and you should be able to get promoted within a year. Once you get past 3 months they let you go out in the real world to audit. This is good. However, expect to have no work to do in between audits (this could be months at a time). "Management" will tell you to look busy and require you to show up from 8-5 but not have any work for you. If you are an hourly worker, (including full time) there is no grievance pay. So, if your parents/children pass away have some extra money saved up to leave to their funeral. Also, if you are an hourly worker be prepared to not be allowed to bring in drinks to work. You will be required to purchase a company water bottle (complete with logo) that you have to put your beverage in at work. Basically, the thing that will frustrate you the most, is that there is so many things that could make a boring job so much better (without incurring more expenses) but Northwest Administrators chooses not to.
