Pros

- You don't take your work home if you don't want to. - Employees are united in their frustration with the company. - As some senior technicians put it, the checks don't bounce. - The cafeteria food is good.

Cons

- You can bet support fees go up every year, you can bet your pay won't. - You will see half of new hires to not make it much past their first year. - Absolutely unfair and noncompetitive pay for work done, bringing a 40 user agency back into action after a server meltdown may result in a $10 gift card, if you're lucky. - Being dragged into meetings where record profits are touted, receiving press releases of major corporate clients being signed, and having support fees go up each year all the while you are told that you're lucky to get the $250-1,000 raise you received is insane. - 5 day to 9 month turn around on internal job applications, the average is about 4 months. - You have to receive a better job offer from a different company to receive a raise and a better job at this one. - Morale has been in a constant decay year after year and manages to be at its lowest each year.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
