Senior financial analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Work is very consistent, hours are consistent except during annual budgeting -New knowledge is gained for the first 2 years -Willing to take me with no finance knowledge

Cons

-They want you to stay there for 30+ years for your entire career with very slow progression if you're not a part of the old boys club. The salary increases reflect this very slow progression. When I moved from here I got a 30% bump whereas here I got 2% raises every year. -Technology is really old there, and they aren't keeping up with the latest tech (latest Excel, IT infrastructure, data pipelines, etc)

Pros

Stability and family atmosphere. Annual bonuses

401k not vested immediately. 5yrs before you are 100% vested. Which means, any company match, not yours until 5yr mark.
