Pros

Small company with flexible work environment. The employee core is solid.

Cons

Who is running this company? Thought it was getting better but was just smoke and mirrors. A Christmas party, ping pong table, and some fresh paint doesn't cancel the fact that we have no real business direction. Seems like the new CEO's agenda is to save his old cohorts from his old company. Sound familiar? Same old story. Major lack of trust in current management. A lack of professionalism is rampant throughout the company. Three employee's were fired today with no explanation. Three people in one day at a small company is a huge deal. Is this a layoff? If the goal of these layoffs was to move the company forward then management once again missed the opportunity to clear the organization of the cancers within that lack passion and teamwork and use attitude and arrogance to drive personal agendas through pea-cocking and back stabbing. Again look at the management and their abuse of power. Be very cautious.

Pros

Less and less all the time. Flexible schedules that let you start your day at different times.

Cons

Not sure where to start. New to this site. We keep hearing things are going to get better so far all we have seen is a more casual workplace. Hired a VP that according to this site was a friend of the chairman, then we got a new Leader that seems ok but has not lead anything that I can see that is working. Does smile a lot so better than our intern Leader who never smiled. New Leader brings in another sales guy over the other sales guy, other sales guy still here so I guess nepotism is still a good career path. No sales or growth strategy and now word is our two biggest customers are only renewing for one year instead of five. No official word on this but that's not a surprise as we don't have open dialog anymore.

Pros

Less of these all the time, but at least they have a open policy on some things like bringing your dog to work when we don't have clients visiting. I don't have a dog but other like it

Cons

We lost a few executives at the end of the year and early January and we keep hearing of replacements that are "on the way". But now it is June and still no one here to lead the troops that understands both software technology and retail. I feel we have either been lied to or they just don't care enough to fix a problem that the entire staff sees but management does not see. They ask for input but when someone steps up they don't do anything about it. I agree with others that have said that we used to have more staff draws but I think it goes with my point above that says I think they just don't care. I worked for another software company in the Kansas area before joining here and the same patterns are emerging. Lack of any real leadership....money gets tight....people being demoted and no real plan other than shallow hollow words. Just frustrating after we had the last leadership team drive so much strategy and forward looking plans.
