Pros
Friendly Coworkers and team Somewhat flexible with schedule Gaining experience for CV
Cons
Strict HR procedures for no reason whatsoever HR isn't cooperative when it comes to unjustified leaves or any inquiry up until you involve your own management/supervisor Blatant favouritsm Stupendously low pay especially with the current market. Unannounced changes in salaries that magically pop up around bonuses Unrealistic work expectations, management expects you to work at unreasonable hours sometimes that are obviously unpaid. They also expect you to be a audit-level accounting when the job is obviously entry level and you probably dont even hold a degree in accounting Ambigous performance review, management isnt really clear with how your actual performance is going. For some types of accounting streams your performance is based on how the agency your handling or teams that arent in your department get your work done even though you may do everything according to your training and get work done by end of day Work culture just simply doesn't allign with lebanese labour law/culture, like yea you're giving me 25+ days of vacation but i cant take them on specific days even if its holiday, even though the agencies we do services close on that same holiday and can take day offs when needed even if its at the cost of our deadlines. Lack of organised training + massive amount of work loads. This is the biggest problem, it sets everyone backs and we keep correcting errors other department makes that are not part of our scope of work. You also have to depend on whatever the previous employee handling an agency to deliver proper training something that is unsupervised and also just a gamble you either get a incompetent employee or best employee ever Lack of space+ overcrowding, this wasnt an issue at first but theres more people than there are floors in the entire building? Theyre trying to fit 80 people in a office floor that fits 40 people maximum Lack of responsibility. You are always wrong no matter what here, whether its a small clerical mistake or a serious mistake. But when it comes to supervisor/manager making mistake the world is la vie en rose Gossping and snitching, the supervisors gossip about everyone, even the people who are doing good. People also will snitch on your if you criticise management or do whatever. Supervisors lack any sense of privacy Unorganized work, month end closing is mainly riddled with tasks that are both time wasting and take too much instead of focusing on the actual month closing. High turnover this is mainly a result of whatever i mentioned above, but generally new comers see that 7 employees have left all at once which kind of makes it dreadful Promotions aren't worth it, as much as they seem attractive its basically just more responsibilities more work load that fall upon you no difference than being a junior
