Activant Solutions (California) reviews

While understanding there is a recession, Activant continues to cut and cut and cut our benefits. No raise in three years. 401(k) matching removed. Total vacation hours held at one time cut to 80 hours. Forced vacation ("use it or lose it") in September right before the holidays, bonus elimination. It doesn't feel at all as though Activant cares about it's employees. We are simply tools to be used and tossed aside whenever.

At one point we endured 12 consecutive quarters with a RIF, followed by 2 years of wage freezes, delayed review schedules, elimination of 401k company match and reduced benefits including a use it or lose vacation accrual. Senior management is managing this company like their own little benefits package with an eye that sees no further than how to make their next bonus. Our president actually answered a concerned employees question of "how are we going to make our next debt covenant?" by stating he wasn't concerned about that. Well we reduced our workforce by 60 employees last week because we weren't concerned. Layoffs are one thing but for the selection of the unlucky victims to be made based on a spreadsheet of job titles and levels 2 levels of management removed from the actual work being done and without the input from group or department mangers is ludicrous. If a monkey and a typewriter could conceivably write Shakespeare given enough time, then there is hope for Activant. Unfortunately my money is on the monkey while my income relies on the other primate in the corner office.
