Accounting dept is pretty much like revolving door in past couple of years and getting worse over time. Staff Accountants are assigned too many properties at a time since high turnover causes their responsibilities having to get re-distributed among remaining accountants. The decisions being made at the top seem to be causing low job satisfaction overall, but especially in Accounting dept.
IT dept. is also not very helpful to accountants and some of them are just plain rude. They try to rush through our request and do the bare minimum without taking the time to understand the actual issue being reported. I get the impression that IT dept doesn't have things in order and need maybe additional training or knowledge base to refer.
The company sort of create a disadvantage for employees from any other race/religion besides Christian Caucasian. The CEO and other executives/upper management have made it clear in the mission statement etc, that this company is a Christian company. For example, during yearly teambuilding company picnic, the CEO led all employees in a mandatory Christian prayer. I had no direct problem with this really so I just went along with it....only felt a bit awkward. But made me wonder if many of our work colleagues who do not observe the same religion would be uncomfortable in this situation.
Speaking of uncomfortable, since most of the higher-ups are men, the female employees (esp. those at lower employee ranking) do not seem to be treated equally at Steadfast compared to the men. An example is when my female teammates and I would be very regularly harassed, sometimes sexually (openly commenting on our looks/weight), by one of the executives from 3rd floor who would visit from time to time. Unfortunately, none of the ladies who experience this would ever be willing to report this behavior due to fear of possible consequence. So it kind of just went on for many months without resolution and made a stressful work environment even more uncomfortable.
