Pros

entry level: easy job to get. pays you each week. easy opportunities for advancement.

Cons

again at the entry level: Not a challenging/stimulating environment. thought and innovation are not emphasized nor are they rewarded. which is fine as most people are not so bright. The pay reflects that and I don't see why accountants would expect more. they aren't worth more...if they were, theywould get a job somewhere else.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
