Pros

Excellent work/life balance policies, including work from home options. Attractive benefits package. Competitive salaries and fair employee review process. High degree of intercommunication across departments. Division staff genuinely interested in helping colleagues achieve results.

Cons

Company upper management focused way too much on short-term numbers. Constant layoffs undermined staff morale. Almost all of the colleagues I knew while there have since been laid off or left the company, many with less favorable things to say about upper management. The division I worked for had been acquired by Activant the summer before I was hired, and many longtime staff lamented the decline in family feeling under the new management.

Pros

If you can find the proper manager to work for you can have a positive work experience and it would be a great place to work. If you make a low salary you can stay there a long time cause they tend to leave you alone if you don't cost to much. Ability to work remote for some departments/divisions.

Cons

To many chiefs Training/education is pretty sparse but the expectation is great Raises / promotions are pretty small if your lucky to get one, typically it doesn't even cover the cost of inflation.

Pros

Some good products available, however they are quickly becoming old and out of date.

Cons

Sadly, Activant cares only about EBIDTA and executive bonus. No concern whatsoever for customer satisfaction
