Pros

401K match is really good

Cons

Health benefits - Paid for but suck HR is non existent Nepotism is rampant PTO is a joke - can't use it and can't cash anything out when you leave - this is a company benefit not an employee benefit. Clawbacks - you have to pay back commission if implementation goes astray (30% of the time) and they decrease your current year attainment so you have to sell that amount again just to get where you were, even if it was from a previous fiscal year. Base pay is pretty low and commission structure is slow to ramp, don't make any money (very little) until 50% attainment.

Pros

There was once a great company named Ultimate Software, it was destroyed by a hostile takeover from H&F, a private equity firm, and a merger with Kronos to become UKG. There are very few Pros since that time.

Cons

When this company was Ultimate Software, prior to the takeover from H&F and the merger with Kronos, it was a world class company with top shelf people. The company Motto was "People First" and they truly lived by that motto, never a layoff, great working environment and stealer benefits. Since the takeover and subsequent merger with Kronos, to become UKG this company has taken a path of "Money First", which is understandable given the greedy nature of Private Equity Firms like H&F. They have systematically closed most of the offices across the US and have been expanding their footprint in Noida India, for obvious reasons. The leadership that has been put in place by H&F is clearly focused on IPO. And we all know what that means, clean up the books and make the company look as good on paper as possible. Can you say "Lipstick on a Pig". This was once a great company when it was run by Scott and Viv but now it has gone the way of the Private Equity management and is heading for a great fall.
