Pros

Comdata offered me a decent bit of flexibility with my work schedule. I was able to work from home on days when I had personal appointments and I never had a request for time off denied. Additionally, I developed a strong relationship with my manager (who is ironically serving his final two weeks as of the date of this review) and a few other bright individuals within the otherwise dull organization.

Cons

Management is unethical. I am aware of multiple instances where my VP as well as other VPs in the organization have made intentional efforts to hide known issues from external and internal stakeholders. Management is unprofessional. As an auditor, I was placed in multiple situations where management openly rejected audit results after being provided with specific regulatory guidance and numerous examples of deficiencies. Management yelled at me and my manager without cause, insulted our intelligence, and pressured us to violate professional audit standards and could not comprehend why we refused to violate said standards. Many VPs and managers are not qualified for the positions that they have and the company fails to recognize the individuals who ultimately drive value. The vast majority of employees refuse to be held accountable for their professional responsibilities and management often assists with excuses instead of making simple process improvements. To my knowledge, the Company does not have a mission, vision, or core values. In short, the Company has no direction. The Company does not care about people. Customer concerns go ignored and in many cases the company deliberately attempts to take advantage of customers through the product fee structure. Additionally, employees are viewed as completely disposable. People are clearly disgruntled and management is either unable to help or does not care. The pay and benefits are below average for the industry. The maximum retirement match of 1% is a complete joke. The company recently renovated the office, but the seating arrangements are horrible. Departments do not sit together. My manager and I were forced to sit around a large group of collections people who were constantly on their phones yelling at our customers. It often was very difficult to focus on our complex and confidential tasks. Our requests to move were repeated denied and our VP legitimately lied to us concerning the status of our requests. I felt undervalued, unappreciated, and unwelcome at Comdata.

Pros

I can't say enough positive things about the people I worked with. My Direct Manager was one of the best I have ever worked for. The team I worked with was great and the reason I kept going back every day. If I could have stayed based solely off this, I would have never left. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

Cons

Where to start? HR. Unorganized, unprofessional and a complete joke. Human Resources should be advocates for employees, but instead it feels like they are only there to nitpick and uphold senseless company policies that cause friction amongst team members, tension within departments and frustration overall. Introducing new policies like taking lap tops away from employees who have had them for years, and forcing them to go to desktops. When employees who have had the luxury of working from home no longer have that option, it causes a lot of issues. Policies like policies that weren't policies until you apparently broke that policy and were given a write up for breaking that policy. Exhausting! Sales Leaders with egos that enter a room before they do. How many Vice Presidents does one company need?! Sales people who don't know what they are selling and refuse to admit mistakes, yet expect everyone internally to recreate and reinvent processes to fit their mistakes...the internal people are having fingers pointed at them, "WHY ISN'T THIS RIGHT?!" It's like the Twilight Zone, Groundhog Day. Over and over again. No accountability. No direction. Worst excuse of sales "leadership" I've ever seen in my career! There are a select FEW, and by "few", I mean 4...that are worth anything! The rest? Absolute jokes. If you want to work for a company that pays their internal people less than market and less than what they deserve, to be glorified "babysitters", then this job is for you! If you want to have your creativity stifled and constantly be questioned, then this job is for you! If you're okay with being a hamster in a wheel, or a monkey in a Circus...GO FOR IT! It wasn't for me.
