Solid Company But Improvements Needed in Finance & Accounting

Senior staff accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people, allowed to continue remote work post-pandemic, not overworked or overwhelmed 90% of the time and work/life balance is good, no issues taking PTO, solid 401(k) matching and healthcare benefits

Cons

Compensation is roughly 15-20% below industry competitors, accounting software applications are 25+ years old and there is no “one-stop shop” in place for the accounting system, raises not merit-based and are standard ~3% per year, no problems with DEI overall but culture is still a bit conservative, BOD’s and executives fairly siloed and too focused on earnings per share
