Pros

None that I can think of......

Cons

Training was two and 1/2 days with manager-very rushed-lots of info-expected to understand Elavon system-Manager was hard to reach-reports of more important than sales and service of community banks. Training in Atlanta was more concentrated on Elavon's philosophy-I have been in the business successfully for over 25 years-and I have never seen anything like this company. Huge turnover-I felt bad for my banks because I was the second account executive in less 6 month-with many deals pending. Elavon credibility should be questioned.

Pros

Benefits, decent insurance, forty hours guaranteed, schedule does not vary from week to week.

Cons

You're not a person, you're a robot. Even when you're going above and beyond, no one considers it anything important or to be proud of. Customers sent in several letters to management during 2013 and 2014 letting them know that I took care of the issues and everything was flawless afterward. That got my name up to the CEO. It meant absolutely NOTHING at review time. Everything has a very "What have you done for me lately?" attitude, and if management won't actually tell you what they want.

Pros

Card processing business is already at scale in North America and Europe Substantial committment and capital available from parent company, U.S. Bank, N.A. Well respected by various departments within Visa, MasterCard, and American Express and their involved issuers Aggressively expanding in Europe and in South America

Cons

Executive management has little to no payment card experience, very little history or progress/promotion through U.S. Bank/Elavon Continued reliance on monthly fees to meet stated revenue goals and objectives Allowed DeWolff Broberg & Associates to destroy the operational excellence and world class North American operational facility, abandoned core principles and values which made the company successful year over year Engaged in high risk and extremely problematic business line leasing equipment through LADCO Leasing, created unacceptable reputational risks and financial losses which continue to plague the overall company Slow to react to emerging market conditions which allowed small business, low card volume merchants to be fully captured by various start up competitors and existing competitors Extreme disconnect between the company's executive management teams and the various sales channels, product channels, and operational organizations
