Extremely outdated and dull but not actively evil - Staff Accountant Old Republic International Employee Review

Pros

Everyone I worked with was very nice, corporate office was in a great location, expected work hours are fantastic (sub-40), never understaffed. Pay and benefits are largely average with one exception - the 401K "match" is not a a match the way every other company on earth uses that term. Rather, if profits are high enough and if you work there for that full calendar year, you can receive "up to" the match percentage. I ended up with a zero percent match.

Cons

Procedures are hilariously outdated - the majority of the accounting records are hand keyed and stored on paper - which makes the department extremely inefficient and a lot of the work is rote and frankly boring. There's minimal room to grow in your role, partially because of the overall discomfort with change and partially because there just isn't enough work to grow into. Whatever long term plan they have to deal with their technology being mothballed or an ever decreasing candidate base is unclear.
