Excellent job. My manager is a pro and knows what it takes to be a success. Decent benefits and the company offers room for growth and likes to promote from within whenever possible.

Cons

Salary is minimal for many positions and you usually have to start with a part-time position. You must be able to multi-task in the bookkeeper position!
