Pros

Pretty campus, promotes healthy eating, good benefits

Cons

In accounting you are expected to make every deadline at cost. A co worker went to the hospital and was told "don't they have Wi-Fi?". They tout being able to work from home and having a laptop as a benefit. Sadly it just enables the expectation that you are available at all hours. Tasks are often assigned with no training and there is a high possibility that most management doesn't know how to do it. However you are held to perfectionist standards with exacting measure. My department was constantly reorganizing and for several days in a row no one was quite sure what their job parameters or management was. Needless to say many people are leaving and they are not filling their spots. The poor people left are taking on the slack. It is not uncommon to see long leaves of absence due to the stress this job puts on your body. One co-worker had a medical exception on file and I constantly saw her having to work well outside what was advisable.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
