Pros

Benefits CEO cares (although he’s not really too involved) If you don't like your boss, be patient because he/she will be gone in a few months. Interesting projects.

Cons

Honestly, what is going on here? The number of senior managers who have come and gone over the past few years is truly staggering. I genuinely don't know why people would join this company. A previous review said it was a ship adrift. Totally true. The company is owned by the Pohlad’s and it seems the family just wanted to give the grandkid something to keep him busy. Sad because this company has the history and potential to be great. It just needs leadership and to follow a strategy.

Pros

PAR Systems has ambitious goals around company growth, visibility, and financial performance. The work itself can be technically interesting, and there are talented people across the organization. Some managers genuinely support their teams and create positive working environments.

Cons

There can be a disconnect between leadership priorities and employee experience. Leadership appears highly focused on growth, financials, and external visibility, while employee development and retention often feel secondary. Career progression for long-term employees can plateau after 5+ years unless moving into management. Raises for most employees tend to be modest and often feel more inflationary than merit-based, unless employees consistently sacrifice significant personal time or take on unsustainable workloads. Management quality is inconsistent. Some managers are invested in developing employees, while others appear more focused on personal visibility and looking successful to upper leadership. Bonuses are reserved for management and leadership, which can create frustration among high-performing individual contributors who do not share equally in company success.
