Pros

One of the largest gateway and acquiring companies in North America I love the people I work with, and the satisfaction of my job.

Cons

DB&A's involvement is leading the company to failure. Elavon is known for amazing service, and micro-management is smothering employees. I feel I cannot effectively do my job because I am forced to spend so much time keeping a very detailed tracking sheet accurate. Exceptional work is not recognized (which I have grown used to), but this new micro-management strategy makes going "Above and Beyond" a NEGATIVE thing in our metrics, leading a WORSE experience for our customers. Reading from DB&A's reviews on this website, they are not there to help the company, but create an environment so stressful people leave. And our talented people WILL leave if DB&A is not REMOVED.

Pros

Strong environment for professional development and career growth. The organization provides ample opportunities to climb the ladder if you are proactive. I also believe the recent shift in leadership direction is a promising move toward the right future for the company.

Cons

The organization struggles with significant corporate bureaucracy and a siloed working environment, which leads to redundant projects and inefficient capital allocation. While the company pushes a 'total compensation' narrative, the liquid cash compensation and benefits packages—particularly health insurance flexibility—do not currently align with market standards. The lack of a cohesive product strategy remains a primary friction point for leadership.
