Vantaggi
The branch-level team is excellent. Because of the accounting leadership challenges, the accountants really pull together and support one another. I made some great professional connections with very talented people in the trenches. Also, because leadership is often disengaged or lacks technical depth, you are often left to find your own solutions and grow as an accountant.
Svantaggi
The Accounting leadership is out of their depth, leading to chaotic and disorganized processes and low morale. The result is a high-turnover environment where the people fired or leave before they are given a real opportunity. HR is fully aware of the culture and leadership problems—they will even admit it in private—but they are either unwilling or unable to take action.
