Pros
Avoid this employer. They will drag you through the ringer
Cons
Finance & Accounting teams are consistently under-resourced and overworked, especially compared to Sales & Marketing, which receives more staffing and training support. • Lack of respect for the complexity and workload of the F&A department — expectations are high, but the compensation, systems, and staffing don’t match. • Despite raising concerns, inefficiencies persist across systems, and critical processes (like accruals, contract tracking, and reconciliations) are overly manual and inconsistent. • Leaders often return from leave or transition roles without full handoffs, but still hold others accountable for inherited issues. • Culture of performance management over genuine development — frequent focus on tracking missteps rather than coaching or solutions. • Poor PTO management — policies are rigid and inconsistently enforced; approvals can be reversed or ignored. • Turnover in leadership is high; my location alone has gone through six Directors of Finance in the past decade, with no structural changes to address it. • Communication and collaboration tools are fragmented (SharePoint, V drive, Ironclad, etc.), and employees are often left guessing on expectations. • Some managers are allowed to treat staff poorly without consequence, creating psychological safety issues for their teams. • Recognition feels forced (as a goal), rather than authentic or supportive of morale.
