Pros

Salary was fair, even generous. Health, dental, life insurance was above average. Holidays, vacation sick and personal were pretty standard. Colleagues were generally very nice.

Cons

Prior to hire, they did not disclose the true nature of the job, the amount and extent of travel required Even though my interviewer and I discussed non compete agreements, she never mentioned that they were going to require me to sign one. When it was presented to me on my second day of employment, she recounted the conversation we had during my interview. IMHO, she intentionally misled me. Also, they reserve the right to terminate an employee in the first three months of employment (pretty standard probationary period). The bad part is even if they fire you, they will enforce the non compete for the entire US and Canada for 12 months, following termination. Current employees in same position are working 60-80 hours per week. Onboarding process for new employees is non existent.

Pros

It has air conditioning. You have the opportunity to learn a lot of new software. Most of the other employees are nice.

Cons

- There are 17 people in the office and yet the internet connection is a 3 Mbs DSL connection. Yet, there are many times whole databases must be downloaded from customer server. Supposedly the $2,500 to have Suddenlink extend the cable modem to that location is too much? - Little to no communication from management, when they do communicate it is mostly bad - No clear guidelines as to what is expected from employees, just that you aren't meeting expectations. - Incompetent customer support manager who doesn't know how to use the software - Management relies on other employees to train new employees because they don't know how or don't have the time. - Salaries are low. - Expected to work 45 hours a week minimum plus one half Saturday a month. - Not compensated for the extra time or the Saturday. - I was hired to be a Microsoft Dynamics GP project manager and ended up being a support tech for their utility billing software. - first month on the job I spent sitting in a cubicle reading out of date technical support manuals and bothering other support techs trying to learn the software. - Customer support manager is a text book micro manager. - The regional manager only comes in maybe once a month to check on things. Other than that he is on his ranch in East Texas somewhere because supposedly "He works better from home." Well, so do I, can I work from home? By the way, how much is that guy making?

Great people - sometimes lacking direction.

Pros

The people are the best part of this job. Friday breakfasts are a nice perk as well as a good rewards program.

Cons

There is a constant shift in direction that seems to be reactive rather than pro-active. This company needs to get better at making plans ahead.
