Pros
*Great pay *Year-end party *Special celebrations (payroll week, monthly luncheon, and holiday celebrations) *Promotion opportunities *Cheap lunch and health insurance for employee only
Cons
*Long hours at quarter end and year end *Heavy work load for some employees while other employees have time to socialize all day *Favoritism, management will choose people that they like and those people will get promoted faster and be able to do whatever they want Management acts like they value their employees but they really only value the employees who they are friends with and employees who make their whole life their job. Vacation and sick time really is not that good compared to other companies and you only get 5 holidays off, New Years is considered the 6th holiday paid but most people usually have to work it. Just like high school, if you are in the popular crowd you are golden and probably love working there, but if you aren't then you can work really hard and not move up or even get fired. You can move up through the different levels of payroll specialist fairly quickly but you have to take tests and if you don't take the tests you get in trouble. Also, anyone can move up to the highest level of payroll specialist as long as they pass the tests, even if they are not the best employee. Management demands that people are clocked in on time but don't seem to care if people go to get coffee or socialize once they are clocked in. Also, the managers are not always there on time themselves.
