Pros

Not a ton of work during non-peak times - sometimes you can sit around, but you have to be at the office incase a client sends in a request (usually work 4 10hr shifts with 3 days off). Food brought in some nights during peak time, bagel Weds. Bonus after each peak season.

Cons

Long hours with little pay. They hire young kids just out of school for the most part so they can pay you very little and have no life during peak season. During peak season you work 12hour shifts, also work on the weekend - still usually at least 9 hours. Once worked 21days straight during the 10k peak season.

Pros

They provide great opportunity for recent accounting and finance grads to become employed; some very intelligent and well-educated people to work with; fitness center, covered parking, $82 annual RTD eco pass gives you unlimited public transportation

Cons

For five months out of the year, the work-life balance is about as poor as it gets for an XBRL Accountant in the compliance department - you can expect to work anywhere between 60 to yes even 90 hours per week. Come into work one, or sometimes both days on the weekend and work a shift that a normal 40-hour per week person would have. During the week, spending 12 hours per day in the office is the norm. Off-peak periods during the other seven months are nice - 35-40 hour weeks but maybe that time should be more productive to ramp up for peak and make that less painful. Management clearly has no direction and the employees feel underappreciated. Even with the bonus, the per-hour earnings for a salaried employee is insultingly low. Overall, the compensation is pretty good, but on a per-hour basis, not good at all. Now the future for the company is very uncertain.
