Pros
I've been with Businessolver for over 2 years and couldn't be happier. I've seen a lot of negative feedback for this company, but tend to disagree with everything I read. I've read several complaints about being, "over worked" and "under paid", however I think those complaints come from those who haven't worked hard enough to be paid well or manage their time. If you want to leave at 5 pm, get your work done by 5pm. If you want to be paid well, do amazing work. Des Moines isn't the west coast. If you are expecting to be paid the salary you would make at Apple- go to Apple. Go to Google. Go to Microsoft. Im sure you could do an amazing job at any of those companies...but as a fellow employee, we are glad to have you in Des Moines. At Businessolver. You are making an impact on people's lives without even knowing it! Honestly, the executive staff is so great. Everyone is willing to help when needed! The staff at Businessolver bonds together to make things happen- which is so great!
Cons
Stop hiring NAEs who have no idea what they are doing. CRMs look toward NAEs to support, however, when you hire the wrong people, we struggle and look bad. We are the forefront to our clients and Businessolver is actually making CRMs look bad by hiring terrible NAEs.

Pros
Great co workers for the most part. Lunch on Wednesday is nice but has been going downhill so the same thing is served week over week.
Cons
It pains me to see the positive reviews on here because they are not an accurate representation of the company as they are written by the owners and/or senior management. The language they use in the reviews are taken right out of corporate documents. They are only trying to combat the negative reviews in a effort to find talent to hire and keep clients since both are leaving the company in droves. It's true that their technology platform is great but they treat their employees so so poorly. Low pay, bad benefits, no job flexibility, zero raises, verbal abuse, and the list goes on. If they treated their employees with respect, that would go a long way! Or provide raises based on merit every year instead of just when a person hands in their 2 weeks. When I started at BSC, I too read the negative reviews and figured I would take them with a grain of salt since there were positive ones too. However, it was no use, here I am writing a negative review. If you are a client reading this, know that your BSC team is very over worked, under paid and will probably be leaving within months. They are fake and will promise you the world but won't be able to deliver on it. If you are a prospective employee, know that there is a very good chance you will be here within a year writing a review too. Be sure to ask for as much as you can upfront because you won't be getting a raise. Also, read all of the documents you receive very carefully. They are being slimy about the things they hide in there. Finally, start building a savings. You may be forced to quit without another job lined up or they may fire you without notice or reason. It happens. However, be comforted in the fact that their reputation is out around town and this NOT GOOD! Other employers will be happy to hire you and completely understand why your stint there was short. Truth is, BSC is finding it hard to keep hiring because there are so many people who have heard how bad it is there.
