Business Outlook

Pros

Great training program, decent benefits, friendly work environment. Pay is OK, but when you consider long hours during close, it falls below the market.

Cons

Assembly line feel in accounting department, long hours working during close making entries that could have been done the next morning. Huge turnover because of that.
