Pros

- good compensation and benefits - flexible work schedule - ethical company, they have good intentions but are so risk-averse that the company gets stuck in neutral while competitors accelerate

Cons

- difficult organization to navigate if you don't know who to go to, too much "decision by committee" - high turnover - too many changes in strategic direction causes confusion

Company Has Gone Downhill

Pros

Great start to your career--you can make what you want out of this job. You can be proactive in gaining knowledge as much as you want. You also do work with some really smart and talented people. The environment is very laid back/flexible--ability to work from home when needed, free food, casual office wear, dinner for staying late, free trips to annual Client Summit in Vegas. At one time (when the money was flowing), raises/promotions were high for the industry (which is probably why you have some lifers/people that have been there for 10+ years), but that has changed.

Cons

The company has really fallen from grace. There has always been a lack of management leadership--30 year old's who ran up the ranks with no other career experience and massive favoritism. This company breeds the culture of promotion-hungry and entitled employees.The culture, albeit laid-back, is sometimes unbelievably unprofessional and immature. The senior management in the last year, however, is shocking. No communication, massive lay-offs, overworked staff, and ignored talent. Depending on your client, there can be lots of after-hours work support including weekends with no monetary compensation for these efforts. In fact, the salaries are no longer competitive with other jobs out in the field, despite the longer hours you work. Jobs have been outsourced to Costa Rica, leaving existing staff in a position to train teammates virtually and pick up extra work. The company also did not honor bonuses for people who voluntarily left before pay out, even though they worked the entire year. Overall, horrible way to run a business and a blatant disregard to put employees needs first. Business 101: happy employees, good reputation=growing business. Also, the technology is complete garbage--the existing application (they are investing all their money on a new product) is always down and there is constant limits to capabilities that you will not find in other ESPs. We always sold our value model on customer service since our technology was so bad. Now that they laid off half the employees and are stretching thin existing ones, that model is flawed.

Pros

Their facilities are awesome in Texas! Probably the best work environment to be in. I think at one point it was voted the best office in DFW. You're asked to work overtime a lot, but if you're not on salary who cares. The company places a lot of value in providing the best to its customers.

Cons

Personal growth is pretty amazing at times, but it's easy to get stuck in one place after the first promotion. Training is pretty extensive, but lacks in a lot of areas.
