Whatever you do don't let this site be the reason you don't go on another interview. I'm not saying all these posts are inaccurate...they're just biased. Do some other research before making that decision. Call the admin office up and ask to speak to one of the accountants...or accounting supervisors. Ask them whatever is on your mind. Find out why THEY are still with the company. This is an opportunity that you don't want to pass up.
The career path you mentioned is accurate. Starting at 32-35K....two years to supervisor gets you 45-55K....3 more years to Business Manager which starts you at about 75-85K. A year or two and you'll be over 100K. Controller and VP of Finance....up to 800K. What you're seeing and hearing about the career path is accurate.
Lastly, there actually is a lot of "accounting" involved. Yes it's internal, private industry accounting but the company still abides by GAAP principles and rules. Good luck...and let us know how it goes!
