Pros

Location - Charleston, SC is one of the coolest place to live in the country. Charming historic downtown and marvelous beaches and rivers as well. Nice mild year round temperature too. The company - at least the software department - is filled with very bright young people. Most of the management is pretty cool - down to earth, competent and fair. If you're idealistic, you can get a little bit of a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that your clients are non-profit agencies. Nice facilities and good work environment. Management expects results - so if you're a slacker you won't last long, but on the flip side, almost all of your coworkers are reliable and competent.

Cons

If you're not working at Blackbaud, there aren't many other employment options in the area. Pay is average at best. Merit increases only keep up with inflation. Only promotions get you a significant increase.

Pros

Being an employee at Blackbaud will get you discounts at numerous golf clubs in the area. Blackbaud is one the best places to work in Charleston. Overall, the atmosphere is very laid back. I worked in the Sales Department and everyone for the most part wore business casual.

Cons

Outside of work, every Blackbaud employee I talked to seemed very dissatisfied with their position. From what I have heard the workload for some Professional services positions were too heavy.
