Pros

Karmak culture is probably it's greatest asset. Everyone makes you feel welcome, and it really feels more like a family than just a job. They are very flexible with time off when needed, and rallying around team members in their times of need. The Vice President of Client Services in particular is always looking for ways to improve life for his employees, and goes out of his way to interact with everyone, and never leaves anyone feeling beneath him. The same can be said of the founder, Richard Schien, who knows everyone by name.

Cons

The only real con is it seems there has been a big push recently to only hire at the corporate office in Carlinville for certain departments. Karmak has offices in Springfield Missouri and Spanish Fort Alabama as well, and I feel those markets are underutilized, especially Springfield as it has a huge market for hiring as it is a much larger city.

Pros

Quality Product Great story for the company

Cons

Benefits are VERY expensive. Product is 50% more expensive than the closest two competitors and the primary competitor is arguably the same product for half the cost. Management thinks they can overcome that problem by "selling better" Extremely disorganized between departments. Overall sales structure creates in-fighting. More often than not, sales person is putting out fires that other departments started because they don't know any roles outside of their own. Sales process is taken away from sales person prior to deal officially closing but then if deal goes backwards, salesperson gets their commission taken back even though they weren't handling the rollout. Extremely complicated rollout process.
