Pros

My boss was the only thing keeping me there.

Cons

Accounting/finance is a terrible place to be. New HR leadership laughably put out a "People First" initiative just as A&F also got new leadership that killed the 9/80 schedule (other functional areas still maintain 9/80s) and holidays on quarter end closes (CAO was MIA over Easter weekend after giving a few days notice that Good Friday would not be observed) and forced people back into the office. There are people leaving in droves and teams all over the greater department are being forced to absorb the work so no holidays even on the off quarter. The company invested tons of money and time on a system "upgrade" (read: downgrade) that everyone but the C Level thinks is terrible. The implementation of a "flexible schedule" sounds good but has had the result of forcing people to work even more. HR apparently doesn't review/ act on attrition rates for certain leadership when attrition is insanely high. New A&F leadership micromanages. Raises are pathetic (every quarter the CEO talks about how AWESOME we're doing), there are few opportunities for advancement, and no training opportunities. When friends and former coworkers ask if they should apply to openings (there are plenty), I advise against it. High health care costs.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
