Great people, but there are flaws

Pros

People that worked in the office were great. Generally really easy to get along and work with. Goals/quota was attainable, even easy to exceed at times. Upper management make themselves accessible to all levels. Good training too, especially with products.

Cons

Back of the house (HR, Payroll) not easy to work with. No one is easy to get a hold of or is clear when specific questions get asked. Benefits and pay are pretty average. No draw to the company for that specific reason. Promotions are few and far between, a lot of sucking up needs to be done with upper management to get there. Would rather move employees around and claim "restructuring" or "position elimination".

Challenging Culture

Pros

Their key differentiator is their software solutions but no one sells it, it's too expensive

Cons

Legacy acquisition cultural issues clouded product and sales strategies. Core products are me too...too much focus on selling to education through gov. school incentives (low hanging fruit), field can't sell into other verticals (Gov., Healthcare, Manufacturing..)

Pros

Co-workers are great, the salaries are fair and in most positions there is flexibility for work/life balance.

Cons

There is a lack of focus in the company. There are many time consuming activities that do not add to the bottom line causing inefficiencies.
