Pros

My boss was the only thing keeping me there.

Cons

Accounting/finance is a terrible place to be. New HR leadership laughably put out a "People First" initiative just as A&F also got new leadership that killed the 9/80 schedule (other functional areas still maintain 9/80s) and holidays on quarter end closes (CAO was MIA over Easter weekend after giving a few days notice that Good Friday would not be observed) and forced people back into the office. There are people leaving in droves and teams all over the greater department are being forced to absorb the work so no holidays even on the off quarter. The company invested tons of money and time on a system "upgrade" (read: downgrade) that everyone but the C Level thinks is terrible. The implementation of a "flexible schedule" sounds good but has had the result of forcing people to work even more. HR apparently doesn't review/ act on attrition rates for certain leadership when attrition is insanely high. New A&F leadership micromanages. Raises are pathetic (every quarter the CEO talks about how AWESOME we're doing), there are few opportunities for advancement, and no training opportunities. When friends and former coworkers ask if they should apply to openings (there are plenty), I advise against it. High health care costs.

Pros

401k match up to 6%. Management is good. End of the year pay raises are usually above average inflation percentages.

Cons

Low salary for the work. Benefits overall are average. They are slowly doing away with hybrid work.
