Pros

Teammates / peers are the best I've ever worked with in my career.

Cons

Meaningless annual raises don't keep up with cost of living increases. CDK admitted they haven't done a salary survey in 5 years, so vastly underpaid for the market. As time goes by, they ask more and more of the employees, while taking away benefits and perks. Laughable response from HR on issues, if you get a response. Nearly hostile responses when needing help with benefits administration. Pointless internal certifications that are meaningless outside of the company. A client base that is traditionally not tech savvy - moving from phone support to online / chat support is causing a lot of discord with clients. In recent years this company stopped appreciating experience, and unless you're a millennial and /or someone who doesn't question things for the better of the client, they find some reason to make your life hell there. Very confusing tools to use behind the scenes.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits (if that outweighs a toxic culture for you. My time at CDK has shown me what good leadership does NOT look like.

Cons

Leadership and management culture were the biggest issues. Poor managers are protected and good employees are left carrying the consequences. There is a strong culture of micromanagement, shifting expectations, and documentation over development. Honest feedback wasn't valued and accountability seemed to stop at management. Over time I watched team morale suffer, trust disappearing, and fellow talented employees leaving in sake of their sanity.
