Pros

The company seems to genuinely try to take care of its employees, at least within Managed Services. Training and professional development seems to be a priority and those who are willing to work at it reap the benefits of that progress. I have been able to move up 3 times in 4 years.

Cons

Upper management seems to base success on unreasonable expectations. I approve of the idea of setting your goals high, but measuring success by whether you met those ridiculous goals de-values your employee's efforts and hurts morale. We're making money and seeing progress, so stop telling us we're not doing good enough.

Pros

The company has an excellent mission. Working to support higher education can be very rewarding and the customers are wonderful.

Cons

The company is severely lacking a positive internal culture and management has yet to overcome issues from the 2012 merger.

Pros

Nice employees (when they're not undergoing layoffs) Nice IT staff who help with technical problems

Cons

Lots of outsourcing meant having to cope with setting up meetings in different timezones; also hard to reach out to remote employees when you have questions Poor salary in light of competitors (I now work for Jenzabar and am getting much more there) "Hunger Games" mentality when it comes to getting things done - lack of collaboration and virtually no mentorship/aid for lower level employees
