Pros

The company itself is great. They're growing, lots of room to learn and grow into your career overall. You can tell that they care a lot about their employees. The pay is pretty good for the market. Lots of fringe benefits such as frequent tickets to baseball and hockey games, team building events, etc.

Cons

I have never worked in a worse finance department. It is 100% the leadership. There is a lot of favoritism happening here, you will have someone who is best buds management who has the workload of someone entry level but has the pay and title of a senior. Then everyone else gets to do 1.5 jobs so that person can have a lighter load. They WILL work you into the ground and the expectation is that you let them do it or get outcast. They try to sell themselves as a "family centric company" but this department couldn't be farther from that. Also, it says it's hybrid WFH, but they kept changing the rules to the point where sometimes it would be several weeks of time that we were "unable" to WFH for some reason or another. When I started it was No Wednesdays, then No Fridays, then at least two people had to be physically present in the office on a team of 5, then you couldn't do it during the days leading up to close, then you could do it on Fridays but only 2 Fridays a month. That's how the entire department is ran for all things, and the changes were never equally applied to everyone or even told to everyone. You'd just sign up for a day and be told you couldn't WFH that day because of some new arbitrary rule that was made up that week. I couldn't even get management to write it down somewhere because it changed so frequently and exceptions were made for some but not for others (on many things). Bad leadership, poor communication, and clique culture. That is a department killer right there.
