They work employees to death

Former accountant

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a stable business. Stock options. I learned a lot in a short period of time.

Cons

As an accountant, they work you to death because the department is "lean", meaning there's not enough employees to do all the work. You're not paid enough for all the work you're expected to do. Forced to work July 4th. During year-end and busy times, expected to stay very late and come in on weekends at times. No respect for work/life balance. No flex time when I was there. Tough environment that's not for the faint of heart.
