Chantilly, VA

Former Employee – worked at Online Resources full-time for more than 3 years

ProsClose to home, smart people, well-designed products

ConsI came onboard after the company's first layoff and pay reduction, which greatly impacted my employemnt. Leadership at this 25+ year-old company changed during the second year leading to a new vision and shifts in the support of their product line. Unfortunately, the remaining products being sold are still an unknown to many, as they were part of an acquisition during the company's growth period, and the clients were often frustrated by the lack of product knowledge.

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

Chantilly, VA

Current Employee – been working at Online Resources

ProsORCC has excellent benefits, competitive pay, and is very flexible with vacation schedules, unpaid leave, and working hours. Established employees are permitted to have flex-schedules, work from home (at times), and in limited cases - work remotely if they move out of the state. IT support is competent and ORCC keeps technology and internal tools current. Expense reimbursements are flexible and ORCC works around your schedule for business travel. ORCC has a structured annual review process so performance feedback is standardized and constructive. HR support is top-notch.

ConsThere are a few great execs and directors - but there are a few mediocre leaders too. Most of the worst execs and directors were released from the company in 2010.

Prior to 2010, promotions were mostly based mostly on politics and relationships, not performance so there were quite a few unqualified Directors/VPs. Since 2010, the company had made effort to correct this problem.

Former Employee – worked at Online Resources

ProsMany middle Managers and their subordinates are dedicated employees. All are passionate about their jobs and want to serve their customers.

ConsMost middle managers and their subordinates are eager to improve the working environment but management above this level is wrapped up in politics and out for themselves. Many legacy employees resigned during 2009 and 2010 and many more are planning to leave in 2011.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to the staff.
