Great when starting off

Pros

Great benefits, great people, and flexible.

Cons

If you are looking for growth this is not the company to do so. People have been in the same position for YEARS. As long as the controller (A.O.) is there, no one will advance in the Finance department. Lowest salary in the industry and heavy workload.
