Really Wanted to Love It Here

Pros

This is a great job and company to start out at if you just graduated and want to get into the accounting field. You gain a lot of accounting from this job.

Cons

I feel like the job is moving away from accounting and more of helping resolve issues at the sites. There is no growth in the company if you want to stay in accounting. No opportunity to work remotely they just keep adding more accountants and shoving us closer together. The company also strives on work and life balance, but I don't see it. If you want to learn more things you end up staying late and forget taking more than a few days off. You will just get criticized for taking more than a day at a time off. Most people hit their accrual cap and have to take a random day off. However, it is not like the company gives any great time off benefits anyways.

Pros

- Benefits - Environment - Work/life balance - Advancement Opportunities - Uniform Allowance - Travel reimbursement programs - Sundays off

Cons

- Low Pay compared to the amount of work, you're the Salesman, Janitor, Collector, Customer Service Rep, Scheduler, Case Manager, Auctioneer, waste Manager, Plumer, Electrician, pest controller and much more. This is a Con because of the pay, but the knowledge gained for future careers may be seen as a neutral or pro. It is just a Con if you stay with the company at the low pay. - No Unpaid time off nor "sick days"., if you miss a day of work for any reason, your "PTO" Paid time off must be used or burned to cover for your missing hours, you cannot go in the negative and if you have no PTO accumulated means you run the risk of getting fired. - Minimal paid days off, apart from New years, Chrismas, Thanksgiving and Independence Day, there aren't many more days off, you will be working almost every major Federal holidays, I think there is only a total of 6 days in the entire year including the ones mentioned already. - Having Every Sunday off is great apart from that they are traded with Saturdays. Your days off will be Sunday + one day of the week not including Mondays/ Fridays since they are the busiest days. You will work Every Saturday unless you use PTO. -Lack of recognition, you might be the hardest worker but don't expect the acknowledgment from the District Team Leads.
