Pros

Great HQ building. Excel at sales and marketing. Hire good front line people. Company is growing due to sales and marketing strength within growing industry.

Cons

Do yourself a favor and run fast from any position in implementation area. Implementation is where your life goes to die. It's been years of the same issues but the C suite leaders really don't get it. Or they do get it and just don't give two sheets. Employees and our managers need to work nonstop to keep up. Have kids? Well, you used to have kids because you won't see them. I think our managers know the problems but the people at the top really don't understand what they're doing to people. They pretend that they do, but haven't done what it takes to make things better. They excel at saying the right things but not doing the right things. Sales rules the day. It doesn't matter whether we have bandwidth to handle new clients, the culture is to keep ramming them down our throats until we cry. Seriously. People cry here almost everyday. There's all this baloney about guiding principles that include taking care of the client and taking care of each other. Please please please don't fall for the seemingly sincere principles. They are an absolute sham and delusion when it comes to the Implementation area. Guiding principles are truly, 1. Take care of Sales, 2. Take care of ourselves at the top. 3. Blame implementation when stuff goes wrong. 4. Grow at all cost regardless of what we do to people.

Roller Coaster - but not the good kind

Pros

The Cincinnati office is lovely, well lit, and as another person wrote, has great restrooms. (At this point, can you tell I'm struggling to find the minimum of 20 words for this section of the review?)

Cons

It's so poorly managed the company is too far gone to salvage. They are always in firefighter mode and never get an opportunity to get in front of the products in order to be innovative and be a contender in the market. The Management team is so concerned about upsetting the long time employees that they don't take control and lead. It's a payroll company, and won't/can't grow up enough to evolve into something bigger. And the base product(s) that built the company are outdated. Management is stifling the high level talent brought in to help turn the company around.

Pros

The company has a great start-up feel and culture. The technology is outstanding and improving every month. The company has a strong plan for growth, employee development and truly lives by their guiding principles.

Cons

Remote offices are always a bit cut-off from the culture, but corporate does all it can to keep employees engaged.
