Pros
• The biggest pro was working with great and friendly people, other accounting specialists and administrative personnel, NOT the managers or senior management. • They pay for continuing education (MBA/Masters), BUT with restrictions – working a minimum years of service. • Opportunities to apply to internal positions in other locations in US and worldwide. Also, opportunities to apply to other United Technology companies (Hamilton Sunstrand, Sikorsky).
Cons
• Work Life Balance does not exist. Late Hours and Saturdays are required. No Flexibility. Trapped in your cubicle all day. There is no motivation to work here! No feeling of job satisfaction. • No training for newly hired people, instead you get an very outdated manual about the elevator industry and its accounting practices that puts you to sleep when you read it. There has been a history of numerous turnovers. It takes management a very long time to hire new people in open positions. • Managers do not communicate at all or maintain good working relations with their employees. They do not push back on extra projects from senior management that are a big waste of time and do not add value to the company. Also, managers do not allocate work/projects properly throughout the department but instead opt to do it themselves or forget about it. • Senior management and managers do not communicate or pass on vital information that is important for the accounting specialist to do their job. Salary information, such as delayed merit increases or promotions is found out by accident or through gossip. • This company is very big on being cost-efficient (CHEAP) and no frills. For example, you have to pay for that coin-operated machine cup of awful coffee that's in the kitchen. Garbage pail at your desk is emptied every other day. • Not all open positions in other office locations are posted on the job portal. If you apply for another position, your manager is notified immediately. • Finally, the benefits are the pits.
