Pros

Great at growth through acquisitions. You get to meet some really knowledgeable people, learn a bit about the payments industry and get a steady paycheck just for dealing with the endless stream of internal barriers. You're not really expected to complete much work, just show up on time and write about things in your "activity log".

Cons

Three seats of power: Atlanta=Sales, Denver=Operations, Knoxville=IT and none communicate or want anything to do with the other...that equals a dysfunctional family. No HR presence at all for workers; benefits and all other usual HR functions are self-service. Potential for merit increases or promotion are nil, make sure you sign on at the pay grade you are comfortable with for the remainder of your employment.

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.
