Pros

You'll meet interesting clients and people, most of who come from their GP practice which they intend on moving away from.

Cons

There are three cons: (1) After a few months at The Resource Group, I notice that the employee turnover seemed to be very high. After more than a year, it seemed to be quite peculiar; so much that I actually calculated it to be an average that 1 employee was either voluntarily or involuntarily separated from the company every 2 months. The second (2) con is that you will get no support. Whether you're professional services or sales, you'll get no support. You're on your own and are expected to report to management from day one. The third (3) con is the blatant religiosity of management. In several staff meetings, the CEO and CFO have said that they lead by their Christian faith. They had also tried to get everybody to subscribe to a faith-based collection of videos and songs. Again, beware.

First, thank you for recognizing that we have interesting clients and employees. We rather enjoy our line of work and appreciate having the opportunity to help businesses increase their efficiency. It is very rewarding to help others by implementing new technologies, improving the solutions they have, or by recommending process changes. That is core to our mission at The Resource Group. Regarding some of the negative claims made in this review, I’d like to start by asserting, as the CEO, that I know this company isn’t perfect. In everything we do, we’re always seeking to improve, and to be honest that can sometimes be pretty difficult. It truly saddens me that anyone had such a poor experience, but I also think that some of the negative claims made in the review are misleading. Encouragingly, 92% of our employees in a recent survey stated they believe we are an appealing place to work for potential candidates! With respect to our employee turnover, it’s true that it was high last year. This was due to a combination of several factors, and not necessarily because of dissatisfaction with our company (as we learned from our exit interviews). I know this is also an era of change among many employees, so I do not think we are unique in that area. To your fourth point, I do not understand what precisely what lack of support means, but it is unfortunate that you did not feel you received that here. We strive to have employees support each other and my feedback from other employees is that they feel they are supported by management. Finally, regarding the ownership’s expression of our Christian faith, we always speak from a personal basis about what God is doing in our lives and in our business. We have never pushed our faith on anyone, nor have we hired, fired, or done any type of performance evaluation based upon a person’s religious beliefs. Faith, and the countless other beliefs that form an individual’s worldview, are the personal choice of each person. To us, our faith is part of our lives, and our business is part of our lives, so the two are intertwined. Regarding the videos, we made these available to all employees simply due to a desire to share something we appreciated. It was not mandatory to sign up, nor would we know who did or did not. Thank you for taking the time to evaluate our business. To other readers, thank you for taking the time to read my response. As a company, we hope that both customers and coworkers feel welcomed, supported, and respected in all their interactions with The Resource Group. Sincerely, Marty Schillaci, CEO

Pros

The variety of work and client projects will challenge and reward employees. The company is rapidly changing as the product line shifts from legacy Microsoft Dynamics GP to ERP in the cloud with Sage Intacct. The ERP industry is on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to conversion to (true) cloud applications like Sage Intacct. Catch the wave of this huge shift in the industry!!

Cons

The transition of the legacy Dynamics GP platform will take time and therefore the company has to maintain expertise while also encouraging customers to make the change. It can create some division for those who are not on board the change.

Thank you for your feedback. It is a challenging and exciting time in our industry with the movement to cloud-based ERP solutions, but I believe we have a good strategy in place to take full advantage of the opportunity (which always result from challenges). I love your advice about hiring really good people, and commit to you to do so.

Pros

Great place to endure a borage of micromanagement at each and every turn. Also a great opportunity to study up on statistical information that is helpful to no one.

Cons

Company is just too small and too few resources to actually do much of anything. It’s actually kind of amazing that anything really gets done at all given that the left hand doesn’t even know what the right hand looks like. Poor management fortified with even worse attention to detail and process. Fear tactics seem to be a way of life for these people and the practice of shaming and micromanagement bread disease within the ranks. Surprising that this company has been around for so long as well since it seems to be run like a startup, but even less effective! Definitely want to have both eyes open when considering employment with this company, turnover is very high. Join up today and you too can find out why. P.S. Discrimination against smokers and non-religious people also seems to exist here so BEWARE!!
