Pros

there are a few good people in the accounting and finance group. most of all other departments are great.

Cons

I would literally rather work for an unopened box of kraft macaroni and cheese than the manager I had at Potbelly. Be prepared to work very long hours. that includes nights and weekends (every weekend). The people in your department base their success in life off of how many hours they can clock in the office… even if its on facebook the whole time, checking ESPN, watching hulu, or chatting with their little groups about how much they HATE someone else in your department. It’s weird because they all have the same conversations about everyone else in the department when they are with different people in the department. no real advancement opportunities. arbitrary title changes comes with minimum salary increase (if any) but can easily double your workload. when people leave, they dont fill the position. they give you all of the responsibilities with no financial incentive. well call this "an opportunity to prove yourself". your boss will harass you into joining multiple groups within the company to improve your annual evaluation. these groups interfere with your time at work and force you to make that time up elsewhere. generally later nights or weekends. if you dont join these groups, be prepared for a terrible review overall the accounting and finance group is a toxic working environment. all other departments are better
