Pros

You have a chance to learn about a potentially profitable sales opportunity in the credit card processing industry. Then transfer your skills to another credit card processing company who values hard work and talent, and who pays handsomely for what you learned at Elavon.

Cons

This company is another Churn em and Burn em company. Average lifespan of an average to an exceptionally brilliant employee is 2 to 4 years. Then even if you are the employee of the month the previous month, management begins a preset program of fault finding and nit picking so that your reviews go down to zero. We call it the "death of a thousand cuts". Once you have been marked for extinction, you only have two options either quit or get termed. This company only wants cheap employees, and after you reach a certain wage thresh hold its bye bye birdie. There are a few workers that have anchored themselves on the top and are skimming off the big cheese, but they don't want anyone else working their way to the top of the pile, except for maybe their family members. Nepotism is allowed here.

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.
