Pros

Location - Charleston, SC is one of the coolest place to live in the country. Charming historic downtown and marvelous beaches and rivers as well. Nice mild year round temperature too. The company - at least the software department - is filled with very bright young people. Most of the management is pretty cool - down to earth, competent and fair. If you're idealistic, you can get a little bit of a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that your clients are non-profit agencies. Nice facilities and good work environment. Management expects results - so if you're a slacker you won't last long, but on the flip side, almost all of your coworkers are reliable and competent.

Cons

If you're not working at Blackbaud, there aren't many other employment options in the area. Pay is average at best. Merit increases only keep up with inflation. Only promotions get you a significant increase.

Pros

Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
