Pros
Easy job to get. Job security is 99%. You pretty much have to try to be fired. Some groups allow you to work from home. You learn good skills like Excel, time management, multi-tasking, and how to look like you are working when you are not.
Cons
Pay is the lowest in the industry. Work is processing (clicking buttons) not accounting. You will not learn the fundamentals of accounting or any field for that matter. Management hires based of whether they know you or not and skills do not matter. I have a good reputation with everyone and could be promoted in a heart beat, but I'm not conforming to that ridiculous way of management. My current manager is not qualified for the job and she was just hired on. There are two others in my group who should have been promoted, yet they are not the most "popular". It's like high school at the company. Accounting/work becomes something you never want to do again.
