Pros

The benefits package at Activant is very generous with the recent exception of the termination of matching funds for 401k contributions. In fact, there are many employees whose stated reason for working there are the comprehensive benefits. There are alot of bright people and the culture is positive, but very segmented.

Cons

There are alot of senior staff that have been with the company for way too long. Their skill sets and capabilities are no longer competitive in the industry, but it is almost impossible to get fired for incompotence at Activant. Very little emphasis is placed in achievment. Attempts at improvement are rewarded no matter what the outcome is. Activant is really 5 or 6 different companies with boundless redundancies.

Pros

The company has been a market leader with ERP software and maintains a large customer base.

Cons

Senior management in the Sales department has taken a very arrogant posture while attempting to go into new markets. Their product is one of the most expensive and in this economy, that's a dangerous attitude to take. Sales are at one of the lowest points in the company's history with no end in site for 2009.
