Pros

Given opportunities and responsibilities that would have taken me years to accomplish elsewhere

Cons

Some bureaucracy going on but you find that almost everywhere. The CFO seems to be highly against change.

I am excited to see the what we can do as we make strategic investments to improve process that will ultimately lead to improved service for our clients.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
