      Pros

      Ability to sell or 'cross-sell' numerous solutions under one company.

      Cons

      The inability to hire qualified leaders to support new staff. Terrible internal customer service support. There is very little follow through on problem solving and where to find answers.

      Advice to Management

      Management must know the product and be able to train and support new hires in every aspect of their job. AND must have a billing specialist/admin in each office.
