Pros

Great company with great mission and values. Fair compensation packages and solid leadership.

Cons

Feels a bit behind the times and internal communication is busy and feels a bit frazzled. Progress is always taking place but seems to be at a very slow and steady pace. That being said this company has been around for a long time and slow and steady wins races!

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review! We really appreciate all your “Pros” comments. Those are all things we take great pride in, and we’re so glad they are recognized and appreciated. We also appreciate your advice and other comments. Our VP of Development came on board just a few short years ago, and since then he has built an incredible team of developers from all over North America (and the world). Together with project management and other leaders, they developed a multi-year strategic plan for how to work and what to work on. He noted it will get faster with time, and we hope you’re now seeing this plan come to fruition. This year, many exciting new features and important technology and security updates are being released at an ever faster pace, while still maintaining the quality our clients have come to expect in our 40+ year history. The next couple years are going to be so exciting for our clients as we incorporate the latest tech, such as AI, to make their work lives even easier, and our products/services more powerful and useful in fulfilling their nonprofit’s mission. With regard to communication, we urge you to share with your manager more details on how we can better communicate internally. As you know, we have a monthly meeting every second Friday to share important department updates. We also use internal communication tools such as Slack and email to provide updates on product releases, new content for our clients and future clients, and changes staff need to know regarding our products and SofterWare news. We also have in-service days where the whole company gets together to ask questions of leadership, learn more and work together. All that said, we know we can always do better and continually strive to do so. We love to incorporate feedback from our team, so please share your thoughts and ideas with your manager, HR or any of our executives. Thank you! Sincerely, Lauren Sheehan, President

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we appreciate your feedback! I agree wholeheartedly with the observation about your coworkers. When we ask for feedback from staff and clients, they both rate “the people” as what they love most about SofterWare! As for your other comment, while we work hard to develop a product that is easy to use, we do find that clients who take training during their onboarding enjoy greater success. Our account team strongly encourages it, but it's at the client’s discretion to sign up. We also offer lots of free training, including articles, videos, webinars, in-product tips and more. All that said, clients love our support team, and sometimes they prefer speaking to someone when needed the best. This is why we provide a host of support and training options based on their preferences. Thanks for the feedback to review the training process and materials - this will get passed along to everyone involved in SofterWare University, our training program for new hires. If you have specific suggestions and haven’t already shared them, I'd encourage you to send them to Kelly, our training team manager (she loves feedback and new ideas!) or provide them in the New Hire Journal that we ask each new staff member to complete during their first few weeks here. Thanks! Sincerely, Lauren Sheehan, President

Thank you for the 5 star review! We couldn’t agree more with all the pros you listed out; we work with an amazing group of professionals who help nonprofits make the world a better place! We appreciate your note that we have great benefits, but that you think our health insurance options could be better. Given how much health insurance issues (cost, coverage, etc.) are outside our control, we strive to provide a competitive package. For example, we offer a high deductible plan, a co-insurance plan, and a traditional plan to match all the various needs our staff has (e.g. young and single, growing families, need more coverage due to health issues, etc.). We also offer vision and dental insurance. We’re proud that we’re able to pay the large majority of the premiums for our staff. Further, we provide free long term disability insurance, as well as access to multiple prescription coverage programs, a virtual care platform, an employee assistance program (EAP) designed to assist you with personal issues, and patient advocacy and nurse navigation services designed to help you and your family get the best medical care and wellness coverage. All that said, we’re constantly striving to improve our benefits, so please reach out to our human resources department with what you feel we could do better, or do so anonymously in our next employee survey. Thank you! Sincerely, Lauren Sheehan, President
