Pros

Great if you work in their Charlotte location.

Cons

People have been let go. Departments have been closed or consolidated and no one on here has mentioned that? How can you give good reviews to a company that promised no layoffs and then starting letting people go more than two years ago. Ridiculous!

Pros

Breadth of product, decent legacy.

Cons

Compensation is below average for sales. Upper Management claims they want you paid, but it doesn't equate to being the front facing person to customers and taking all the heat, when the admin levels screw up your business. The company used to be great and really coalesced around it's culture, and I feel that is a thing of past with the new upper management. I don't feel most of the upper management is qualified to be making the decisions that they do, it seems like they are fraternity that just keep shifting from position to position.
