Pros

Elavon has an good work/life balance. In general, the people here are easy to work with, although too many are focused on the next new thing to the detriment of maturing critical capabilities. The new Atlanta facilities are a great improvement. Elavon and U.S. Bank both offer paid time off to help with the charity of your choice and offer internal opportunities to serve the local community. I have to give them credit for this maturing this part of the organization. I hope it continues to grow.

Cons

Resources, in the form of budgets for technology spend and head count, needed by this company to grow and acheive the goals set by U.S. Bank are so anemic the structural changes put in place are filled in org chart only. Salaried employees bonuses are apparently independent of their performance review and the bank's earnings. The medical insurance is nothing short of atrocious. Other "perks" tend to have a veneer of a benefit but

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.
