Pros

There's a lot of potential opportunity for learning and advancement, along with exposure to other areas of the payment card industry. Elavon makes a great springboard into the rest of your career. They're rapidly expanding their areas of interest, so unless you're in the Operations section, there's a lot of new stuff coming down the line constantly to challenge you.

Cons

There's a lot of office politics, and the company as a whole is extremely conservative in its approach to new concepts and processes. This can be frustrating as there's a tendency to cling to archaic and outmoded ideas. Working in Operations is largely thankless and a miserable experience - the customer service side in particular. Management doesn't really have a firm grasp of the job their employees do, and displays a habit of managing people as metrics instead of employees. Pay is not competitive. In general, expect to be underpaid just for the job you're doing, much less for what your resume and experience command.

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.
