Pros

Coworkers were great. We stuck together through it all.

Cons

Management needs to spend some time in the trenches again to remember how their changes affect process. When the ownership changed (again) a lot of good people and years of product knowledge were lost.

Original Company fan - Private equity as owners equals unsatisfied employees in the case of Activant.

Customer service

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many home based positions. Supervision is limited to crisis management. Do your job well and you will have more latitude to do your job.

Cons

Quarterly profit goals trump and long term growth strategy. Projects proposed and started for the entertainment and approval of management. Once senior management is bored with the excitement, the projects die. Many remnants of said projects linger to clutter necessary work.
