Pros
Community Brands is a collection of previously independent technology companies serving different vertical industries, which include associations, non-profits, k-12 private schools and faith based organizations (churches, synagogues, etc). The companies have come together through mergers and acquisition, which is never an easy process. Having said that, employees that began working with a small company in the past, now have access to an eco-system of opportunities across a much larger organization. I have seen dozens of my colleagues move on from roles with limited growth potential, to new parts of the company that created upward mobility. People care a lot about what they do, which I think is an offshoot of serving the customers we serve (i.e. supporting non-profits, etc.). The company's benefits are reasonable (health, 401-k match, PTO). In the part of the business where I work, I see a lot of passion for the customers, and hard work to make them successful. We have very little employee attrition and a good culture in the office where people care about one another. We have a broad range of technology products and services, and are benefiting as a company from the ability to now provide more than 1 product to our very large universe of customers. Community Brands provides a lot of good jobs to a lot of good people.
Cons
As mentioned before, a lot of smaller companies have come together to form Community Brands. As a result some of the independent cultures of some of the smaller companies have gotten weaker. This has also created change. Some processes have gotten more formal. Some expectations have gotten higher. This type of environment is not for everyone. If you fear change, or you want a job where the requirements are always the same, you might not like it here. But if you don't mind challenges and want interesting work, this might be a good fit.
