Pros

The people you work with are generally nice and I have made a couple friends there, but the overall morale is in the toilet. Health benefits are good.

Cons

Management has no idea how to manage the current customers, let alone the new ones that are being brought in. They make promises to customers that they know we cannot keep, but if it gets them an extra week or month without that customer yelling and screaming at them, then they feel they did their job. There is absolutely no room to advance, you are told that if you do a good job you will be rewarded, in my over three years there I have only received a cupcake and a sign thanking us for our hard work. Management runs around the building waiving their arms and looking to point the finger at someone else because in their eyes it is never their fault. They are also very quick to make assumptions when a project gets behind. Management does not know anything about the software they develop and will say whatever it is they think you want to hear to keep you pacified for the time being. Lately the new hires (although nice people) have no technical background, I don't know how many times I have had to help someone (who I know is making more than I am) copy a file onto their USB thumb drive or just copy a file to another folder in Windows.

Pros

I work in the Hotel Systems Division My managers have all been great and I like the people I work with. I think upper management honestly appreciates my efforts. I feel that I am rewarded and recognized for the work that I do. MICROS has been good to me and I feel very fortunate to be able to work there. There are many opportunities for growth and advancement. This would be a great place for a recent college grad with some hotel or restaurant experience to start a career, or for anyone with industry experience and an interest in technology. For an entry level installer position, be prepared to travel nearly 100% of the time, which can be fun and is certainly interesting. I don't know what the recent acquisition of MICROS by Oracle will mean to the future of MICROS, but I'm excited about it. I would recommend MICROS to anyone who is deemed qualified to work there.

Cons

There were some conerns in the past about the lack of culture at MICROS. Some of this was fueled by comments from disgruntled employees. The culter is much better though, and it continues to improve. It seeems like the better you are, the harder they work you. This is espcially impactful to travelling employees. The better ones hit the road while the losers sit at home. They tend to not have enough employees for the work that needs to be done, so the existing staff has to work that much harder and I think in the end it's the customers who suffer.
