Pros

The offices are all pretty small so no matter where you work you feel like you are part of a small company. We sell a great product which is really fun to talk about and demonstrate. Expectations are high and that is why our results have always been so good.

Cons

Some people are disappointed because the owners are not perceived as generous (no match on the 401k) but the sales compensation plans are very generous. It really depends on how you define generous and what is important to you. The people who don't succeed here are the ones who fight the culture. We are growing and changing and some people cannot cope with that. It really just boils down to knowing yourself, what work environment is good for you, then go find it. If the expectations seem high, you have to step up and do better. If you don't *want* to do better, you are in the wrong company.

The structure of the company has completely changed in the past two years. Many of our team members have been promoted into management roles as we build the infrastructure to support our growth. It is an exciting time here!

Pros

You will gain a lot of software knowledge if you are self starting and you will get to meet interesting customers.

Cons

There are many, hard to count, suffice it to say that working in software services should be a time limited choice for anyone with progressive career goals.

Pros

people are very nice and friendly.

Cons

Account managers are really just telemarketers. Constant calling, almost "harassing" customers. Very transactional. No real authority on accounts. Everything needs approval.
