Don't believe anything you are told.

Pros

People "in the trenches" have a much-needed attitude of collaboration and helpfulness. It's easy to find a better-paying job offering better quality of life once you realize how utterly inept the management is.

Cons

They will say anything to get you "in the door," as they are desperate for new hires as the knowledgeable employees leave in droves. Once there, actual duties/way the organization works is rarely what was presented in the interview. Training is non-existent, and employees are penalized when they fail to meet expectations that are never communicated. It's all about blame, not about finding solutions (especially in sales).

Pros

This (SGHE) was formerly was a good place to work. Since the acquisition by Datatel, the majority of good people have left. I don't know that I have anything good to say about the remaining company.

Cons

Since SGHE's acquisition by Datatel and the formation of Ellucian, the former SGHE has been decimated. I would be surprised if the Malvern, PA office remains open much longer.

Pros

The days of the Pros are gone, it was ONCE 3 great separate companies. Sungard laid the foundation for ruining 2 of the 3, ellucian finished the job by adding Datatel.

Cons

They lost the elements that once mange them individually great. Employees have been in survival mode for a decade, many don't leave because of the benefits and vacation.
