Pros

Decent starting salary, Good health care benefits flexibility to work remotely from home when you need to. Great co workers.

Cons

Very difficult to increase salary from what you start with. Merrit increase is only 2% accross the board for everyone in the company. If you move to a new position in the company, your salary for new position is calculated by a 3-5 % increase of your current salary, instead of being determined by the salary range set for the specific position you are moving to. Even if the new position is in a compleley different business unit or different organizational group. Only way to get any kind of significant increase is to quit and then be re-hired.

Pros

My boss is great. His hands are tied but he'll do whatever he can for his team. Allowed to take care of personal things as long as work gets done.

Cons

They don't pay well. Raises are few and far btw and forget bonuses - too busy giving that to the CEO. Got exceeds expectation on 3 out of 4 competencies and meets expectations on the other...received a .73 % merit increase. No joke!

Pros

Continuing education opportunities for some employees based on position in the company and all training is centered around maximizing FIS product sales. Potential to make good money "IF" paid.

Cons

The sales and client management structure has been "re-organized" every year for the past 3 years. This means new objectives, new requirements, new legal and comp plan contract requirements in an environment where a large sale can have a 6-8 and sometimes 12 month sales cycle. This means potential of not being paid commissions based on a technicality when a cycle bleeds from one year to the next (ex. Nov-Feb). This instability also means going back to clients to ask for more changes post-negotiations. This also means working on client relations for a year and having the potential of that client being reassigned the next. It does not represent stability to the clients. And the most important... The company thinks you should feel fortunate to receive your earned commissions instead of rightfully entitled based on your comp plan and performance. They are masters of changing comp plans and requiring signature with no questions asked and typically 4-6 months into the year therefore holding commissions until then.
