Pros

None - I just can't think of even one.

Cons

Poor insurance - average family cost is $1200/month No raises - for some people, 10 years The people that have been there for 10-30 years are the lowest paid, some are at poverty level!! Poor management - lives off of threatening layoffs as motivation to work harder No educational benefits - not even in your department to keep up with the market No training or poor training Management is not consistant with anyones hours - some full time people only work 20hrs/wk, and others have to work all the time - they expect you to be online 24/7 Discriminates against women - several lawsuits were won against this company Management likes to threaten people, cuss at them, yell, scream, very poor behavior - this goes all the way to the Sr VP, CIO and on.... If you have no self respect, no desire to do anything in your life, this is a good job You are not allowed to express your opinion or to disagree in a meeting - only listen. If you are not from New York, you will be treated like a hill billy and made fun of.

Pros

There was a time when the company really did some exciting stuff with agile development. There used to be a lot of folks that cared deeply for the library community, and I enjoyed working with the customers.

Cons

Sadly, that time has passed. The development has stagnated and there really is nothing innovative in the pipeline that can potentially save the company in a very tough market. Also, there is an attitude amongst product owners that they know more about the needs of a library than the customers; therefore there is no need to listen to them. Employees are treated as if they have no value and there is always a thinly veiled threat of getting fired that substitutes for motivation from managment. The company hasn't given raises in several years, and promotions usually come with no (or insulting little) change to salary. Benefits are almost nonexistent, and insurance is astronomical and cost rise every year. Sales are down to dangerously low levels, and customers leaving are on the rise. Just about anyone worth any value has already jumped ship. The company appears to be in a death spiral that I am not sure they can recover from. My gut tells me it CAN'T.
