Pros

There aren't any that come to mind.

Cons

Lack of transparency Lack of communication w/in teams and company wide Multiple layoffs EVERY year Multiple payplan changes EVERY year No recognition for a job well done - only criticism No consideration for employee impact when decisions are being made You are made to know you're replaceable and are only pawns True boys club. Women be prepared to be looked over for that very rare promotion opportunity for the less qualified man in the department and men, when you get that promotion don't expect a raise to match like positions in the market - you can expect a 10% salary bump maximum. Company policy Low starting salaries and raises are infrequent and minimal with dept heads having to split a small dollar amount among employees However salaries are disproportionately high for middle mgt to their staff Long hours are expected - work life balance- not in thier vocabulary here Company data and resources are antiquated, clunky and hinders efficiency No longer offers tuition reimbursement or employee development courses or TRAINERS! Yes, they got rid of all of the trainers! If you have a question or want to improve a skill that will ultimately add value to your role - the go to answer is Google it. Its an overall toxic company with - no and I mean NO long term strategy in place for the future of the company and zero care towards their non SLT employees.

Let's be real....IT here is a joke

Pros

Pay is above average. There are a lot of good people in the ranks.

Cons

No work life balance, cliques rule mid to senior level management. It's a former Interactive Intelligence/Genysis world and if you're not "in the club" you're out of luck. Let's be real. All of the positive reviews here are posted by KAR internal "Cheerleaders", those paid to try and boost the image. The culture is toxic and the leadership is lost. Don't make the mistake, look elsewhere if you are looking to make a move in IT. Benefits are subpar for a company that claims to be a "great tech company to work for". You can do better at any midsize company in this area.

Pros

Gives you chair to sit in

Cons

CEO is not even the real founder. Employee's please on behalf of your family beware of investing. The numbers are to good to be true. Harassment and abuse are so common here more than cold. Mistreated, lied to on every level, pay and job description . Epiphany of worst treatment, deliberate hurt to most women working for you. I suggest the fed's look into this company. Investors I bet bet are even lied too.
