Pros

Flexible schedule, option to work from home, traces of the original Timberline culture still occasionally encountered. Average benefits. Average compensation.

Cons

Company reduces employee benefits every couple is years. Management ideology does not match situation on the ground. Very structured with little room for creative movement. (Even the height of every desk in the building is mandated by a company policy.)

Pros

The people are incredible and most are hard working. With the proper training and management they could be a force to be reckoned with in the market. Sage chooses to mismanage and deplete the energy with target moving and unobtainable goals!

Cons

Poor moral. Horrible pay unless you are a favorite you cannot even get a gift or bonus at year end! Forever changing directions and never following through with any commitment. The lack regard for employees. The message to the stakeholders is not the same message to the employees. Always hiding and covering numbers.

Pros

The people are amazing and friendly. Helpful, for the most part. Some really try hard but their promotion process is INCREDIBLY long and bureaucratically AWFUL that they quit and get other jobs that deserve them.

Cons

The sales and Sr. technical support people for the Sage 50 queues are rude and unprofessional. Management is either micro-managing you or you have some that couldn't give a poo about what you're doing, they just don't want to be bothered. You will never get the elusive 10% bonus they bait you with. In the 5 years I was there, we never met sales goals and never saw a true "bonus", only fed pipe dreams and told support needs to pick-up where sales slacked off. I wish I could say that corporate cared but in reality, they're only interested in how good they are and how much money you can make them.
