Pros
Fun co-workers who are intelligent, carry the business, and make things happen. They are truly the ones who makes management shine. I have seen so many instances where bumbling management literally has taken credit for unique and organic ideas of basic employees. Sadly most employees have a sense of being beat down by the almighty "Change Machine". Great job to get noticed by other companies in the various industries.
Cons
Even though this is a company that specializes in ERP, Accounting, Payroll, HR, etc, management treats their employees as if they are clueless. A recent example is after the benefit changes for the year, the benefit team delayed announcing that the total amount of PTO accrual allowed to be carried at anytime is 80hrs regardless of tenure all in the name of "well being" to get employees to take time late on a Friday evening before the week of Christmas. When it was pointed to Senior Mgmt that this policy in effect would leave a tenured employee that has earned over 240+ hours of sick and vacation throughout the year with a 0 hour leave/sick balance after a 2 week vacation, employees were singled out and told they would be contacted directly by VPs. Great tactics. The 80 hour rolling cap was in essence a way to get thousands of hours of employee time back by employees hitting the cap and stop accruing time. You shouldn't feel like you are exposing your family to unforeseen sick liability if you go on a 2 week vacation. ESPECIALLY as a tenured employee of over 10 years!!!! It was also pointed out by many that the new policy also had a use or lose it clause and this would motivate those to use their PTO during the year. Other examples include the lack of resources, training, and just the general cheap way Sage conducts business internally and with it's business partners, while trying to promote a "One Sage" culture to its current and prospective clients. I used to rate the Benefits and Work/Life balance much higher, but not so anymore due to the mentioned downgrades. Finally, Sage has a detrimental "change culture". Some of the great companies look at what went well, try to repeat and expand on that success, while the management at Sage turns over every 2 years it seems, then changes to previous ideas of the past, regardless of record success or profits. Employees, Business Partners and Customers are constantly in a spin status as they never know what is gong on from day to day.
