Finance/Economics

Routine – you know what to expect every month

Usually stable hours (9-5) except during month end

Provides a bigger picture view to the general health of the company than other positions in the company may have

Being in the adversarial position can also be good because it can build a stronger character

I love and respect my boss. I know this is key is most jobs, but I find it especially important in mind just because I'm such an integral part of making sure his day runs smoothly. If I didn't genuinely like the guy, I wouldn't want to help him. I also love the perks. Because I'm assisting a pretty important person, I get to travel a lot and go to really interesting functions. Most recently I got to go to Vegas for a convention. It just gives me great opportunities to meet new people, see new sites, and eat good food. Did I mention the benefits at the company are excellent?

1) Stability - Overall, a finance career is a stable job. There are usually an abundance of jobs and there is always a need.

2) Routine - For people that don't like a lot of change with their job, finance could be a career for you. There is change but you can always count on month-end close, quarter-end close, and year-end close.

3) Insider Info - You have access to certain information that other employees aren't privy to. You can also see how the overall company is doing and in what direction they are heading based on their financials.

What I love most is the work environment. I can honestly say--without a single breath of hesitation--that I love and respect my coworkers and superiors. They not only are always willing to help and give everything they do 110%, but they are a great support system for me.

My bosses have done nothing but to encourage me and help foster my growth. They make sure I'm challenged everyday and learning something new everyday.

Besides all these factors, just working for such a big company is advantageous in itself. There are so many opportunities if you ever wanted to explore other arenas.

Finally, we have great benefits and programs. This place really knows how to cater to the employees. I feel like a person rather than another number in the employee database.

Great company, great management team, great product. This position is relationship building and management. It is a great way to refine your people skills, developing business relationships, providing education and solutions and also give top notch customer service. This is a fluid position with constant growth. I have a lot of autonomy to run my territory as I would like, of course along with my team members. I rarely work overtime. I travel enough but not too much.
