Pros

great place for a recent college grad good place to learn

Cons

wow, where to start. 1. Sr. Management has low integrity--lack of honesty, treat employees AND customers poorly. Lies lies and more lies. 2. VP of Primary Sales has never sold anything, anywhere. Former CEO (Jim Kellner) also never sold anything, anywhere. 3. Lots of "ideas" but no "vision". Ideas change regularly. 4. attitude of "what have you done for me today" 5. They lose more business out the back door than they have coming forward--this is because Applied over-promises and under-delivers. Management encourages deceptive sales tactics to win at all costs. 6. They train to belittle the competition. Sr. Management consistantly insults the competition publically.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
