Pros

-Office space is nice -Folks in the AD and web department are really great to work with

Cons

-You can hear a pin drop in the office (no one talks or really even says good morning) -Trying to get management approval is like pulling teeth -There really is not flexibility - you work long hours. Some say you can work "remote" but that is really frowned upon.

Slowly Imploding.

Pros

Nothing worth mentioning. All the glowing reviews posted here are the work of Marketing, at the direction of Corporate. No one who works here sincerely feels that way.

Cons

Where to begin? Lots of recent developments show the company is preparing to collapse under the weight of their own financial scheming. -Recently announced the addition of a new President (another layer) and promotion of all the department heads except for HR (the only female executive by the way) which now reports to Finance. That's right, the department in charge of developing employees and seeing to their well-being is now subverted to the will of the department whose job it is to pinch pennies. We'll see about being "Best Place to Work" -After years of touting the value of their partner and channel relationships, the company does an about-face and announces plans to wind down many of those and take the sales functions in-house. Make up your minds. -Marketing recently announced SPIFF to solicit "ideas" from the employee base. Apparently, putting on cheap trade shows and posting fake reviews of the company to make the outside world think everything is hunky-dory, doesn't actually do a lot to drum up new business. -Plan for the next few years is to scrape the bottom of the bargain barrel for struggling companies to acquire cheaply to keep the illusion of growth going. Seriously.

The worst place to work

Pros

Good salary. They regular pay everything on time. Good products but without a real integration. Beneficts are ok. SAP partnership.

Cons

No innovation. Micro management from CEO to your boss. No career plan, they fire good people in a fiscal year in order to make better results and they hire anybody again next year
