Pluspunten
Many learning opportunities - you get exposure to a new industry that's connected with hundreds of businesses in the accounting world. You will constantly learn new things, and will be pushed to go outside your comfort zone to encourage growth as a person and professional. They care about staff. Management wants to make sure you're happy where you are, and prevent burnout before it happens. If you're not happy in your position, they will make changes to ensure you're reaching your goals as a professional. Tons of collaboration. I always had the mindset that I had to figure it out alone before I got to VARC. Now I constantly hear "Let's talk about it as a team" "How can WE solve this problem". Mistakes happen, but everyone is there to support you. Now, I hardly go a day without talking to my coworkers about different problems/situations. As long as you have a spark of optimism, this job is fun. There will always be days where negativity/stress gets the best of you, that's inevitable. But we're not a "strictly business" team. We enjoy keeping things lighthearted and not weight too heavily on the bad stuff. I look forward to coming to work. We're a growing company, and there's job security. We are looking to thrive even more than we are now, and our staff stays for the long run! Great insurance/health benefits Competitive Pay/Overtime pay for hourly employees No weekend/holiday work
Minpunten
Pretty rough vacation/sick time until you've been here for at least 3 years...especially harder if you're used to bigger PTO packages No flexibility for remote work - if you're going to need any, or frequent, days to work off-site, you have to make a good case for it or it's always a no. Small office/Team - if you aren't comfortable working for a small business, this may not be the right fit for you. It's a much different environment compared to corporatized business, and collaboration is a must. A lot of processes to learn with a lot of layers. You should be comfortable using new software, and it could easily take you 3+ months to get the hang of things. But you don't have to be perfect, everyone is willing to teach & train. You will not thrive if you don't ask questions. Like with some jobs, if you show up just to get a list of tasks done and then leave for the day, you likely won't do well. With this job, it's strictly 8:30 - 5 and you need to be willing and open to learning new things every day.
