Finance is still a support function that sets the ground rules for which the marketing department makes decisions and supply chain and logistics make decisions to save the company money and spend money responsibly.

Pros

Great pay, and excellent benefits. They truly take care of their employees.

Cons

Not all managers will take the time to teach and help you grow. Also, people move up and around in the company often. In one year, I had three different managers. That took some time to get adusted to especially as a new hire.
