Pros

An industry leader with top-notch technology and innovative platforms delivering agency management systems, now with Google’s investment arm which purchased a minority stake in Applied Systems last year, so greater things are yet to come! This role is entirely remote working alongside a dedicated team of educators across the country. If you like to travel coast-to-coast and becoming a road warrior is your thing, and you like to meet people and you care to adventure to places you've never been before this job is for you!

Cons

Travelling Mon-Fri 3 weeks + a month coast-to-coast, sometimes on Sundays, and/or on State and Federal Holidays, then working virtual once a week from home. This is a salaried role so there is no add'l pay for overtime, or add'l compensation /make-up for long days travelling across the country or any add'l pay for travelling on Sundays/Holidays. The "Work/Life Balance" is barely possible, depending on your lifestyle, age and your tolerance.

Pros

Applied continues to be the most innovative agency management system vendor in the world. Applied's leadership is second to none as they have continued to execute on their vision of the Digital Age of Insurance. I look forward to continue to grow with Applied and provide the best tools out there to support our ever growing customer base.

Cons

I can't think of any cons worth mentioning.

Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at Applied Systems. - My coworkers are friendly and hard-working. It's clear to me they are committed to making the best products they can. We're comfortable asking each other for help and bringing up disagreements with each other with an eye towards finding the best approach, not to winning arguments. - Management is awesome. I feel very comfortable talking to my boss when I need help, and he definitely helps me and my team get great work done instead of causing us extra stress. The other managers in my office also have good reputations. - Senior management is very knowledgeable about the company and have a strong strategy in place. And their strategy isn't focused on bean-counting, but rather on providing good employees with the resources they need to make strategically important projects as high-quality as possible. Management rarely talks about exactly when they expect the company to hit specific financial milestones, but rather talks about why it believes the company strategy will drive growth as much as possible, whatever the exact numbers are. - Great work-life balance. Every now and then, about once per year, there's a crunch time where I have to work 50-60 hours or come in on weekends for a few weeks. But the rest of the time, 40 hour weeks are the norm, and no one is watching the clock for exactly when we arrive or leave. - The company has been consistently growing for the last several years. And because the company is actively developing new products and watching new markets to enter, I believe it will continue to grow steadily for the foreseeable future. - Career opportunities. When a position opens up, the company prefers to hire employees who want to move to the position instead of hiring outside. I've seen several of my coworkers enter programming or product management jobs from call center positions as a result. And my boss has been very clear with me about what I need to do to earn a promotion.

Cons

Applied tends to pay below market average. For me, though, the great work environment is worth it.
