Pros

Not everyone is horrible. There are some truly good people that work there. There is a chance you may be able to hit quota if you run yourself ragged. Great place to get your foot in the door if you don't have any tech experience. They will pretty much take anyone.

Cons

Not a good company! The CEO makes it very clear, their only concern is how to make the most profit. The software it no longer the top of the time. The sales team is put under a microscope. Your day consists of keeping up with hourly metric reports, harassing the same customers over and over again, and fabricating forecasts. Every Friday is a desperate search to close deals. Less then 50% of people actually hit quota. If you ever want to feel like a used care salesman of software this is the place for you!

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
