I guess I can throw in my two cents. I do Internal Audit for Cabela's. It's OK. I learn a lot about a $2.5B company. I've learned a good bit about accounting and associated controls. Also a lot about process analysis. There's currently 12 people in my rapidly shrinking department (not backfilling attrition).
Pros:
Relatively stable employment (nothing is absolute in this economy)
Good company with good people.
If the economy ever turns around there ought to be some chance for advancement.
Great benefits
nice town
Low stress level
Work more than 50 hours a week maybe 4 weeks out of the year.
Cons.
Very little fulfillment. It feels like I do a lot of work and add very little value to the company.
Very little probability of short term advancement.
Still stuck in a entry level type position and am paid like it
