Pros

Great people to work with, very dedicated and hard working. Its very rewarding to work with agencies. Applied is trying to get better all the time. Management is trying to be responsive and change/grow. I appreciate that some departments, like implementation, are managed by people that have been implementation leads. Its a great place to learn a lot and start/grow your career.

Cons

Education Services is oppressive and does not treat employees well. When hired I was told travel was 50%, it was easily at 80% and it was not uncommon to travel 10-12 weeks straight. Non-travel weeks are considered optional and get taken away without regard. Pay is horrible, raises are non-existent and any move between departments will be labeled lateral and without a pay raise. Absolutely no work/life balance. Limited career opportunities. Departments can have out of touch management that have no idea what actually happens. Departments are siloed and communication is limited.

Pros

Lots of great people for whom I had a considerable respect for. In the years I was there I learned so much from my peers as well as company paid training. I enjoyed working with the agencies and with other departments. It was not a boring job you were always stretching and growing. I was there before the IPO and it did feel like family. I left because I honestly felt like I was no longer earning my pay check. I went from always having more than to much to do, to pretty much so having nothing to do.

Cons

Things changed in the IPO pre and post environment. The company needed to change things in order to position itself for the IPO. That meant having people who had degrees and certificates. Which meant that some very qualified, good people were out and new faces were in. It also meant that everyone was busy trying to figure out how to navigate in the new corporate culture.
