Pros

Very little traffic on the way in. Cafeteria in the same building (not associated with this business)

Cons

Company shifts leadership too often. No development team (only one developer) No career advancement. Management does not listen to employees about customers needs. Company is going through financial issues, and can't determine a factor. Management does not handle personal feelings well.

Pros

This is a place where you can learn and grow to build the career you have always wanted. Friendly, enjoyable environment with good benefits. Respect for the individual is paramount. Diversity is embraced. New ideas and new technology are encouraged and readily accepted by management.

Cons

Most employees work remotely, which can be a benefit (savings in time, travel expenses, etc.), but can also cause miscommunications.

Pros

The staff at Coop Systems is relatively friendly. Management occasionally stocked the kitchen with junk food and soda.

Cons

The fundamental problem with the product the company is selling itself is that it is based on a free version of Microsoft SharePoint, no longer supported by Microsoft and no where near as useful as more recent versions of SharePoint have proven in the development of business continuity management (BCM) solutions There is no transparency in accounting coupled with non-standard billing practices. Company income currently dependent on projects that are stalled, forcing staff layoffs. No standard BCM Product, leading to frequent undocumented custom work. No good future long term sales prospects. No development staff, only one lead developer. No road map for implementing features promised to clients in the previous year. Bugs in software leading to issues with existing clients implementations. Clients engaging in legal action against the company for unfinished or poorly implemented work. There is a customer support staff of only two individuals. Two overworked project leads focusing primarily on one major project as other are given little to no attention. All this as animosity towards the company builds and awareness of its incompetence in developing BCM solutions becomes clearer.
