Pros

I love the people I work with. I've had opportunity to try a variety of things, but that's mostly due to my "ask forgiveness not permission" attitude. Opportunity is there but you have to make it. 4 weeks vacation is a bonus, benefits are good.

Cons

Management is all about the 30-day profit window. No long term strategy and the company message changes every 30 days depending on how the numbers looked. VERY poor compensation and little growth, ~2% annual raises if that. Senior leadership talks a LOT about putting the customer first, until the rubber meets the road, then it's all about "only work for who's paying us fastest" regardless of the schedule or prior commitments. Pushing shoddy work out the door for the same of making budgets. HIGH employee turnover due to the attitude that numbers are first, people are second. Good talent catches on quickly, and since the pay isn't great, it doesn't take long for them to find greener pastures and move on.

Staff Accountant

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Do not apply at The Woodlands locations for an accounting position if you are a man. I'm a woman and the hiring manager (also a woman) told me she didn't hire a man because he wouldn't fit in. Mostly a bunch of old ladies work in the accounting department. I was one of the youngest on my team and I'm 42! The HR lady told a co-worker of mine that they had raises of maybe 2% or not at all in that location (Spring, TX) for several years. The position I hired in for was a Staff Accountant position, but the expectation were for a Senior position. However, the pay and overtime (20 hours during closing) definitely wasn't for a Staff Accountant job. The management is disorganized, rude and belittles the staff. One lady was given a performance reprimand after only being there for 7 weeks! Communication is poor. Training is non-existent. IT support completely sucks. The accounting software is not an ERP. It is basically a giant database. If you want to go back in time 20 years in software.... go ahead and apply! I voluntarily left as life is short and I'm lucky enough not to have to work, plus found a better job already!

Pros

Salary is good and vacation days are pretty good. Benefits are only ok.

Cons

There are over 700 reviews, look for consistency. My issues were with the management for the most part. No good feedback; very poor training. One associate could not do their job for a month because the company was in a dispute with the software developer. I assumed that the issues were with another location when I was looking at the glass door star rating, but the issues stem from the top and that affects the entire company’s culture. The company has terrible retention. I have many more cons, but I suggest looking at several reviews; don’t just take my word for it. However, I would dismiss any review that has no Pros or no Cons, every company has good and bad points.
