Pros

Short drive, no long commute. Free Parking, relaxed environment.

Cons

It's always hard to come up with a con. Depending, there isn't always advancement opportunities as people don't always leave.

Pros

Competitive salary, solid benefits. Manager in a different state. This did not overshadow the terrible experience and lack of positive motivational comments.

Cons

Was directly involved with a product that wasn't adopted by internal departments. It was very frustrating to get direction and comments from those said departments, when they didn't even support the product. Involved with many meetings for process improvement, where a lot was said and no action was taken. Constantly seemed like management had no clue of what direction to go in. Product was created with the mentality of getting sales, rather than true client feedback. Then, clients were ignored when issues came to light that greatly affected their experience. There was little to no accountability of people below management. Communication was embarrassing, I went 3+ months with no one on one calls with my direct manager. Was constantly asked to lie and cover up items within the product that I knew were wrong.

Thank you for your feedback and perspective during your tenure with Applied Systems. Applied strives to create an environment based on open and transparent communication and hold itself to the highest ethical standards. We encourage any of our employees who feel that there is a communication barrier with their immediate manager to seek counsel with upper level management or HR. While I recognize you are no longer with Team Applied, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation directly, please feel free to reach over to me to discuss further.

Pros

The people were all very friendly, the office and location are nice, and I felt like I was contributing a little to the progress of the company. I also appreciate that they seem to be up to date with technology and software.

Cons

The biggest cons were the pay, the hours, and I knew there was no real room for advancement. Many people in my department left in the short time that I was there, so to me that was not a good sign.
