Pros

The division i worked in was comprised of great people with a great motivation to get the job done. The industry is interesting and constantly evolving so there is always something more to dive into.

Cons

Decisions are made at a very high level and trickle down to all the divisions of the company. Things such as acquisitions that may work for one division, do not flow well with others causing huge complications in processing invoices and other financial duties.

Pros

Living in South Florida. No state income tax. wait one more ... beautiful people (quite different from those weather-worn Northeasterners). Come here for a year or two to enjoy the lifestyle then move on for your health and well-being!

Cons

This place will leave you in a catatonic state! You join, work hard for a year or two (or six) all the while keeping hope alive that career advancement is on the horizon, then .. wait for it .. you get numb from doing the same routine tasks over and over (and the commute to/from Doral-zuela), that pay raise never happens (others less deserving receive promotions out of cycle while you get your annual review/comp bump via email). You find yourself trying yoga, working out 2x a day, taking multiple coffee breaks to cope but nothing works. You then get a new boss (who like previous ones) gives you the robot-speech that you are valuable, there is upside, commit to the team, etc, but by now there is no belief ... you have officially entered the "burn-out zone" and now have become a marginal contributor. Actual work and peer/superior evaluations are subordinate to kissing up, responding to emails in 2min or less, tenure at WFS, and what grad school you went to (in that order).
