Pros

I love that I was able to work at my desk and on the floor. It was a good job for me cause I go a little stir crazy sitting at my desk all the time. I was quickly given opportunities based on how I performed and my eagerness.

Cons

I was continually asked to do more and more, work more and more hours and was compensated less and less. I worked on a project that had some difficulties for a while integrating some vendor technology, I started pulling 14-16 hour days trying to get things fixed and running. After about a month of that I told my boss that I was only going to work 12 hours a day so that I could go home and see my family. He was fine with it, so I worked from 6 - 6 for a while, but on several occasions I was stopped by the plant manager on my way out and chewed out for "leaving early". There also was no opportunity for growth. You basically had to wait around for people to move or change positions, even though this is a global company with lots of opportunities.

Pros

Good PTO and benefits. Work load is manageable but the company is going through a business transformation process which could increase workload to maximize efficiency.

Cons

Work life balance decreased steadily over the years with not a lot of room for growth within FP&A. Many roles were BPO’d out.
