Pros

Good work life balance Company is pretty stable and does not do a lot of layoffs, riffs, or restructuring even when transition in/out executives

Cons

Senior Leaderships has favorites and it's abundantly clear surrounding promotions. FP&A had several promotions upward compared to General Accounting, it took a lot of "pushing" and several great workers leaving for senior leadership to promote from within. Negotiate your salary, it is possible for you to be a Manager making less than a Supervisor, they will low ball you on the salary.
