Pros

Very good and stable company to work for. Stock incentives, 401k match, and benefits are all GREAT compared to most companies. Big company with plenty of opportunties. GREAT company to work for as long as you aren't in Accounting.

Cons

Accounting department gets treated like CRAP. Accounting department works harder and longer hours than any other department on Salary yet gets paid considerably less than other departments (internal audit, Business Intelligence, etc.). Current controller and mangers of accounting play favorites. If you don't fit their type (prefer females, settled down with family, not outgoing) then you will have a harder time getting promoted. In my 4 years I saw about 20 people quit or take a demotion to get out of accounting, while only seeing 6-7 promotions (all girls except 1)

Pros

The company offers competitive pay, a generous bonus structure and competitive benefits. The office is very well designed and furnished with comfortable work spaces and an amazing lunch room.

Cons

If work - life balance is important, it is not a good place to work. Work volume is unreasonable and unmanageable due to inferior and antiquated technology and poor work flow processes. The technical staff is burdened with excessive nonsensical clerical duties. Remote reporting is available but not flexible.
