Good Place to Learn.  Easy to Get Lost in the Back Office.
Pros: -decent ability to work from home when needed (flip side is you're expected to be "online" at ridiculous hours.  As a co-op I had to work until midnight once a month!)
-good compensation for the MN area
-tons of free education online, but it only applies to areas within IBM
-work only with other finance people at the Center of Excellence, lots of face to face knowledge sharing and ability to move around within finance
Cons: -TONS of employee turnover, it's rare if someone stays over 4 years
-not a lot of respect for the individual, most teams you support are not local, so there's only ST or phone conversations
-very easy to get into finance in Rochester and get stuck, I'm lucky I got out while I could
