Pros

It has industry leading software, which customers love.

Cons

The CEO is just a complete nightmare. He makes decisions based on no knowledge of the products or clients of Quark. He feels like his previous experience makes him always right, even though his other experience is in different types of companies at different times in their lifecycle. He fires people left and right if they don't agree with him or meet his unrealistic and ever changing daily expectations. Takes credit for anything he can even when he had nothing to do with it. Changes his mind every other week depending on how he woke up. Shouts at employees, tells them they cannot do their job, even though they have years of experience selling Quark Solutions, and then makes them take pointless training. When he joined he fired the majority of senior managers, & moved roles to India to make a profit. Makes employees feel on a daily basis that they could be next on the chopping block. The only opinion he values is his own. Do not take the positive reviews in the last few months as the truth.

Quark Software Response

We appreciate your review and for noting we have industry leading software. Yes, trainings are required and everyone in our company (sales included) needed to know the solutions and software and how our customers utilize it. We also have implemented job descriptions, performance reviews with merit pay, and new polices and procedures. We are aware that change is difficult. If you have any additional suggestions, please email me at arichter@quark.com.
