Pros

-Financial - Above average benefits (pay, 401k match - 7.5% for your 6%, health insurance - basically free if you meet requirements) -CFO is as real as they get. I won’t get into details, but he basically supported a pay decrease for executives. -CEO honesty. Where I worked the CEO was walking by, talking about whatever he felt like at any time. It was very refreshing.

Cons

-Long work days, averaged almost 50 hours during close/forecast weeks and then got accosted about my overtime. -Faux early releases (as long as you don’t work in finance, you can leave early most Fridays) -No training (has very little Corp finance experience and received almost no training) -No work/life balance or remote working opportunity (despite what might be mentioned in interview) -Indecisiveness amongst managers (interviewed for two jobs and job I actually was offered was something completely different).

Pros

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
