Current Employee – been working at Deluxe Corporation full-time

ProsThe company provides good benefits and pays well for most positions. I don't know of many companies that provide so much vacation time, discounts, etc.

ConsThere is a communication disconnect between some departments. Deluxe owns a lot of companies that are trying to work harmoniously together, but it seems as if the different departments have no idea the other exists.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Kansas City, MO

Former Employee – worked at Deluxe Corporation full-time for more than a year

ProsThe company is 100 years old and number one at something (Check Printing) Deluxe one of the best benefit packages I've seen, PTO,Insurance etc.

ConsI worked within the online division of company selling Search Marketing and Website. Deluxe could not honor packages on back end once they were sold. They want to get into the tech biz but not willing to step out of 1913.

They lure you in with lots of talk about big commission checks but always set unreachable goals. Part of problem with comp plan was your pay depended on customers actually sticking around and like I said back end support was not there.

Advice to Senior ManagementStick to making checks.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Minneapolis, MN

Former Employee – worked at Deluxe Corporation full-time for more than 10 years

ProsGood salary and benefits, including a bonus program. Location and parking is very convenient. The company is trying to redefine itself from being just a check printing company.

ConsDifficult to advance in career. Everything is financially based. Diffucult to get paid training or seminars. Consistently hire for new positions instead of training and promoting from within.

Advice to Senior ManagementBuild an employee growth program which includes a career ladder and management help to get ahead.

Shoreview, MN

Former Employee – worked at Deluxe Corporation as a contractor for less than a year

ProsThere isn't much of an IT market for Deluxe to sell to anymore, or in the future based on their strategic business direction. Hence this area of their business is drying up fast.

ConsAbout 7 years ago, Deluxe outsourced all its IT (development, and internal infrastructure). Last year they began to take this back. Understandably, the foreign outsourced personal collectively resist this. And therefore, this company's IT is 'owned' by the outsourced personal since they maintain all the knowledge. Deluxe IT struggles to get back this control. If you want to work here in IT, prepare to get very involved in this.

Advice to Senior ManagementDump your IT leadership, they DO NOT have the competence to support an effective IT business direction, nor do they have the character to take back control of Deluxe IT.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Lenexa, KS

Current Employee – been working at Deluxe Corporation full-time for more than a year

ProsMost friendly co-workers, regardless of position within the organization. Corporate leadership not satisfied with status quo, on search for other opportunities to add to service portfolio for banks, credit unions, and small business customers.

ConsPhysical check usage nationally has declined approximately 7% each of the last two years, therefore the core business is declining. Corporate management has made strides in other directions with some costly growing pains-both monitarily and employees. My teams positions were eliminated 12/2012 in the Lenexa, Kansas office, retained remote US employees in lateral positions performing identical functions.

Saint Paul, MN

Current Employee – been working at Deluxe Corporation full-time for more than 10 years

ProsEmployees are engaged and for the most part, love their jobs. I had the luxury of touching a variety of projects, lots of variety. Great friendships. Exposure to new and exciting things in a growing industry.

ConsSales and marketing not always on same page. Product to market process is very slow. As with any other job, some bad managers, many good ones.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Shoreview, MN

Current Employee – been working at Deluxe Corporation full-time for less than a year

ProsGreat pay
Management focused on reinventing the company
Seem focused on creating more employee growth opportunities
Making very smart investments in marketing
Very focused on emerging stronger despite a declining check marketplace

ConsAverage to below average benefits
Still really silo'd business, not just between divisions but within divisions
Focused too much on promoting the SB side to the detriment of the FS side
Layoffs, even in 2012

Advice to Senior ManagementThe layoffs HAVE to stop, its going to hurt your ability to get the best talent. Seems like the company should be in a good place to move on from here and build out a great team with the base. Continue to invest in marketing, the very best realize the value marketing brings to an organization. Keep empowering employees.

Former Employee – worked at Deluxe Corporation full-time for more than 10 years

ProsThe people at Deluxe are loyal, dedicated and hard working. The wages and benefits are good. Deluxe is good about giving recognition for a job well done.

ConsThe financial services division has been in cost reduction mode for years. This means layoffs constantly and morale suffers because of it.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
