Pros

It has air conditioning. You have the opportunity to learn a lot of new software. Most of the other employees are nice.

Cons

- There are 17 people in the office and yet the internet connection is a 3 Mbs DSL connection. Yet, there are many times whole databases must be downloaded from customer server. Supposedly the $2,500 to have Suddenlink extend the cable modem to that location is too much? - Little to no communication from management, when they do communicate it is mostly bad - No clear guidelines as to what is expected from employees, just that you aren't meeting expectations. - Incompetent customer support manager who doesn't know how to use the software - Management relies on other employees to train new employees because they don't know how or don't have the time. - Salaries are low. - Expected to work 45 hours a week minimum plus one half Saturday a month. - Not compensated for the extra time or the Saturday. - I was hired to be a Microsoft Dynamics GP project manager and ended up being a support tech for their utility billing software. - first month on the job I spent sitting in a cubicle reading out of date technical support manuals and bothering other support techs trying to learn the software. - Customer support manager is a text book micro manager. - The regional manager only comes in maybe once a month to check on things. Other than that he is on his ranch in East Texas somewhere because supposedly "He works better from home." Well, so do I, can I work from home? By the way, how much is that guy making?

Pros

Great company to work for, though they are all about the next thing to acquire.

Cons

401K plan is a 'maybe we will match' type thing. Could be much better.

Pros

Strong belief in core values and generally practiced. Financially responsible of not edging on thrifty. Change is a constant and there is plenty of opportunity if you know the right people.

Cons

Sometimes they fail their core values which are the foundation of the organization. You will get borderline reasonable pay which doesn't carry long term benefit.
