Pros

-Starting pay is pretty good.* -There are some good people who work here**

Cons

-Accounting Management in general. -Incredibly rude, Occasionally to the point of abusiveness. -Sometimes they don't understand the projects they assign to you. -Dishonesty in general. Especially regarding performance based benefits/promotions or benefits they may offer you to stay with the company. -Blatant disregard for US Accounting standards (G.A.A.P.) when finance team or upper management doesn't like the financials they are looking at. -Not many paid holidays or PTO-think bare minimum. -Their health care options are far from the best. In fact they actually got worse since I started working there. -*While starting pay is good it is difficult to get a better salary or promotion unless you are talented at kissing up to management or if management believes you will quit without a promotion/raise. -**While you might meet some nice people working there the company has incredibly high turnover so you may not be working with them for too long.
