Pros

-Great customer service and responsiveness towards customers, especially in the software industry. -General open communication within the company, CEO is forthcoming and honest with general direction and forecasting of the company. -Relaxed work environment, good work-life balance. -Team building events/lunches/dinners.

Cons

-Rigid senior management, not open to new ideas outside of their own train of thought. -Too much time, effort, and money allocated to SEO and not enough on actual software development to fix age-old bugs and issues that consistently get brought up by customers -Lack of communication and cooperation between departments. -Knee-jerk responses to market fluctuations seem to cause more harm than good. -Website is an absolute clutter and can be confusing and discouraging for prospective customers. Many pages are outdated in both design and content. -Constant changes to software versioning/branding and pricing is extremely confusing both internally and to customers.

Pros

You get out what you put in! Personable management. Great place to work and learn! They took the time to make sure I was fully trained and comfortable before turning me loose. They were always open to questions.

Cons

Listen to employees when they are mentioning negativity in other employees. We know when people are not a great fit.

Pros

Salary is great, opportunity for commission is very nice.

Cons

You will be micro managed, they expect you to be a master of the role within 4 days. VP of Sales is extremely judgemental.
