The Accounting Department? Don't do it. Seriously, don't.
Pros
Free coffee and soda....that's it.
Cons
Accounting Director has no idea how to manage or motivate people. She has no warmth or compassion, you feel like you're working for a robot. She desperately needs management training. Terrible company culture, everyone is trying to cover themselves even if it means throwing others under the bus. You will not make friends here. The CEO has no idea what's going at the department level. I've been here over two years, he doesn't even know my name. Management in this department is very secretive. They instituted monthly meetings - supposedly to get input and let people know what was going on but the fact that the meetings are constantly cancelled tells you they don't care what you think and they're fine with you being in the dark. It's a terrible place to work. All but two people are actively looking for other jobs. They give you a huge workload and then refuse to pay overtime. So, you either wind up working for free or they tell you you're doing a bad job even when you express the workload is too heavy for 40 hours. If you're looking for a job where they will underpay, undervalue and overwork you, this is the right place. Otherwise, keep looking. In such a small department, there shouldn't be a 20 person turnover in two years.
