Collaborative team environment with knowledgeable colleagues. Opportunities to learn cross-functional finance operations and improve analytical skills. Leadership generally supportive and approachable. Exposure to different projects helped broaden experience.

Cons

Some processes could be more streamlined and standardized. Communication between departments can occasionally cause delays. Workflows and systems sometimes feel manual and could benefit from automation or clearer documentation.

Pros

The people in the trenches The students The passionate faculty

Cons

Leadership, their inefficiencies and poor decisions Very dysfunctional environment HR does whatever leadership tells them to do, including covering issues by "friends of the boss", This favoritism approach also includes approvals for who gets to work from out of state even when the position can be easily filled by local workers and the creation of new jobs for those that are chosen. Very poor financial decisions. Big big pay on top, Low pay on bottom. Very little room for growth unless someone likes you and you are the right color.
