Pros

Salary was competitive and if you survive the 1st year the 401K plan is good.

Cons

1. No work life balance. 2. Negative treatment of employees 3. Long hours without compensation 4. Have to use vacation time when sick unless you get a note from the doctor 5. Do not pay out vacation when you leave 6. Have to use own cell phone when on implementation team and do not get compensated for work usage. 7. Have to use own laptop on implementation team for up to one year then you can purchase one around half the price to keep when you leave. Just note they remove proprietary software and may mess up any private items saved on "you're computer" when you leave the company. 8. A large portion of the company is not happy and looking for a way out. 9. Only "white collar' company I have worked for where employees don't turn in a notice and just leave for new jobs. 10. Expect employees to be professional but do not treat their employees professionally. 11. High turn over rate 12. Never really know where you stand within the team and with management on a daily basis. Example is one gets blindsided on reviews on items never discussed with management during the period but appear on a review as a "critical" issue.

Pros

I worked with a number of good, talented peers.

Cons

During my time with the company, there was significant organizational turmoil. Senior leadership often seemed disconnected from the day-to-day realities faced by employees, resulting in the push for software migrations before the products and processes were fully ready. Teams were understaffed, which placed additional pressure on employees, and the software lacked many features and enhancements needed for successful implementations. To the company's credit, many of these issues were eventually addressed, but not until after the departure of several talented and experienced employees.
