Long time employee finally had enough

Senior consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

The Banner software provides a solid enterprise solution for higher education. It is good to work with a dependable product.

Cons

The management teams are competing with each for business. The result is a confusing delivery solution for both the consultants and the client. Administration focuses on the success of sales and not on the improvement of the product. The product will not be competitive in the near future if there is not a significant infusion of funds, innovation, and staff in the development area.

Pros

Tremendous people and institutional customers are gracious with their time. Marketing team is strong, sales team is unreal. Strong, smart. Company pays extremely well and bonuses are generous. Most of executive team is smart, friendly and passionate about higher ed.

Cons

Some management very tough. Unnecessarily so. Morale is a bit low on some teams because of certain individuals. Upper management should keep a close eye on morale.

Pros

This is an international company working to provide student success solution to universities and colleges. I love having colleague in other countries and in other states as consultants.

Cons

None really, sometime the web conferencing solutions wouldn't work on my computer but my computer was special. I would always listen to the recording later, if I was having difficulties.
