Pros

Co-workers are generally great team players. Most are hard working and goal oriented. Company allows flexiblity in schedeles which allows for a good work life balance.

Cons

Company is always changing focus. Doesn't have a very good strategic plan for the future. Always chasing the money to pay it's large debt load.

Pros

The employees within Activant made it a good place to be. As long as you worked with Directors and below, you had a good chance of success and satisfaction. Geographic location was also a consideration. I lived closed to the office, thus it was worth staying.

Cons

Poor management skills. VP and Sr VP titles handed out based on longevity vs. capabilities. Most VP level executives are simply waiting for their tour of duty to end. No feeling of responsibility toward employees under them. The world is theirs -- we simply live in it.

It used to be a great company to work for. Management does not keep you informed of what is going on.

Pros

Great pay, wonderful customers and peers.

Cons

Mangement does not listen to employees. Lots of lay offs of well seasoned employees. If you have been there for 15 years or more you might not have a job tomorrow. No room to move up the latter.
