Pros

It's a paycheck. Some nice people, but everyone's got an undertone of a bad mood because the office culture is so barren.

Cons

It all stems from the borderline unhuman CEO. He literally is like a robot, void of emotion (other than fiery rage), roaming around the office looking for people to yell at or belittle. I have never heard such constant verbal abuse in a workplace setting. I was lucky to never know him enough to be the target of his rage but I overheard it to people's faces and on the phone. The guy would literally leave his office door open while he verbally berated people on the phone. Because he sets the tone for such a terrible workplace, I think it trickles down from there. Nobody seems to have any fun or enjoy each other. It's the quietest office you will ever experience - it feels like a testing center most of the time. I rarely heard a good word spoken about the place. I would be willing to bet that all the good reviews on this site are fabricated by the management team to try to boost their overall score. Nobody in their right mind would rate this place 4 stars or above. Period. Finally, I don't think their product offerings were that great either because they were just a hodgepodge of products gained through acquisitions. All of the product knowledge are in the heads of a select few who are too overworked to be able to pass it along to anybody else. Sales struggles to book deals because they aren't adequately trained and the products are overpriced for smaller companies (many many sales lost to less expensive competitors) and not feature-rich or user-friendly enough for larger companies (lose out to bigger name ERP and WMS providers). There were some good apples there but a lot of them got poached by competition, which I'm sure isn't hard to do - show a corporate atmosphere that has any signs of life and a CEO that smiles ever and you'll easily convince someone to transfer. I honestly feel bad for anybody left working there - I can't imagine spending another day in that office.

Pros

Prior to being acquired by AFS, we were one of the highest rated companies to work for in the entire Tampa Bay area. We were truly appreciated and valued for our skills and business knowledge, and the entire company felt more like a family than just a business. But that all changed after the acquisition, and now I see so much talent being shown the door with nothing more than a boot on their rear. It's just so sad.

Cons

The cons for working for AFS are so many I doubt I am allowed the space to write it all out. Business decisions being made at nearly every level are so ridiculous it simply boggles my mind. There is simply no possibly way the CEO and his hand-picked clones have the long-term interests of this company at heart. Their only concern is to save that precious Rupee, regardless of the impact to clients or employees, and to make everything "look good on paper". I do not believe these people are ignorant or unintelligent, therefore the only logical conclusion I can draw when I see drastic decisions being made that have a highly negative impact on the business yet supposedly make the company as a whole look better on paper, is the fact that they are gearing up to sell the company. Nothing else makes any sense.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Awful company to work for. They can’t keep any upper management. There is zero training and the new CFO is useless. The company is very disjointed with each department doing its own thing. Management and executives could care less about the employees who do the real work. Private equity owned businesses are known for being like this and this company is the poster child.
