Pros

Ability to work from home several times a month. Paid vacation and retirement/benefits package.

Cons

At times hours can be long. There is a very slow process of opportunity for advancement. One basically has to wait for a spot to open, meaning either someone above you quits or gets promoted.

Pros

Benefits are great. 3 weeks vacation to start off. Easy to move around the company horizontally and vertically. Work from home capability. Many employee engagement activities.

Cons

Low moral and turnover due to frequent overtime, inefficient software and slow computers, management being self-serving and noncompetitive pay. Additionally, their are many management layers many of which are filled with inexperienced individuals who stuck it out and took advantage of the companies inability to attain and keep well qualified, knowledgable employees. Having been interviewed at different firms by accountants and was told, SS does not practice true accounting and the skills and software used does not transfer.
