Pros
Excellent holiday schedule, bonuses. Quarterly bonuses based on performance. Insurance options. Holiday celebratory parties.
Cons
Poor professional judgment skills on part of hiring such as certain C level staff. Workplace became very toxic after AP team leaders implemented. Long running drug abuse issue taking place on company premises during company time, no response or action taken. Severely excessive socializing and lounging, detracting from overall productivity. There was also a major sexual harassment incident and massive, long running time clock abuse, this has led to stricter policies regarding punch ins. Accounting C level executives are external consultants direct hired from The Strategic CFO. These consultants indulge in double standards and are hypocritical in reprimanding certain employees while giving certain others a free pass for the same infractions or less. Productivity measurement systems are skewed and in accurate. Attempts at developing KPI have been delayed for more than three years now. Accounting Department C Level Executives have personal relationships with toxic employees and have compromised and disregarded their responsibility to be objective and to be focused on protecting the business. Rather, they protect the cliques they are trying to form. Directors and superiors of C Level Executives are absent and poorly informed of goings-on in the AP department due to manipulative C Level Executive staff, including public facing C Level representatives such as HR, are also involved in drug abuse and in protecting toxic employees. HR falsifies and will not take action on complaints launched regarding drug abuse and toxicity. Attempts to falsify private testimonies regarding a recently filed complaint about toxicity and drug abuse have taken place by C Level Executives. Pay is low compared to productivity expectations. Toleration of toxicity in Accounting Department Toxic co-workers. Workplace violence/sexual harassment incident. Verbally abusive behind the scenes across all levels. Discriminatory hiring practices based on gender and certain other categories. Unprofessional dress and behavior is tolerated. Aggressive environment on certain teams within Accounts Payable. Alcohol consumption at work during work hours. Extreme backlog of vendor invoices, backlog keeps growing even in low season. Long running AP short staffing issue. Inadequate hiring efforts - accounts payable chronically understaffed, yet criticized for low productivity amid ever increasing sales staff. Declining customer service quality from prior trend. Pay is replaced with fast food and pizza parties. Weekly Friday lunches changed to once a month lunch. Lack of productivity. Excessive socializing and lounging. Leadership staff will watch Netflix and FaceTime personal contacts while on company time. Highly politicized and politically charged environment. Politically extreme attitudes and radicalism in all segments of the company. Performance enhancing processes have always resulted in even more manual labor and research intensive AP process—counter intuitive and counter productive. Massive volume of transactions and invoices remain unaccounted for and are instead written off with journal entries to rush closing of accounting period. Frequent credit card fraud charges resulting in many auto pay vendors becoming upset and demanding payment, causing frequent service denials and consistent disruptions to AP process. Poorly training established protocol create numerous and frequently occurring vendor expenses that cannot be traced and posted correctly to AP sub ledger. Very rude and dismissive vibes in accounting building.
