Pros

Depending on your position, the salary can be very competitive. Benefits are decent. Training - if you have time for it -- is pretty good. Availability and use of technology was great.

Cons

In my experience: frequent disorganization internally - I encountered many areas that still seemed to be figuring out their roles and how they wanted to operate which could create delays in whatever you may need for doing your job - no standards on process or project methodologies - many groups doing their "own thing;" office politics can frequently get in the way of communication and cooperation between departments; the job frequently takes over your life 24/7 - even on vacation or during illness, you're still expected to monitor emails and issues and call into meetings. You need to understand and decide what you're committing to before you take the job. Ask detail questions about a typical day on the job with your interviewer to get a better sense of what's required of you.

Pros

Great environment and people. Lots of overtime available and bonuses during busy season.

Cons

I really enjoyed this job so the only con I can think of is that it is seasonal.

Pros

Some of the direct Managers and team members but only because everyone sticks together because there constantly change and unclear expectations from upper management.

Cons

*Unclear commissions spread across multiple tracking systems that don't line up including sales done on various salesforce portals. Many teams members gave up trying to track or follow up because we were so busy. *They treat businesses like dollar signs and employees like numbers. *They "laid off" managers on the Tax/Audit team, some who had been with the company for decades and were the most supportive of their teams. *They are focused on buying up other software companies and products without having any protocols or streamlines in place for them, not to mention they still haven't properly done so for acquisitions in the last 5+ years.
