Pros
I was transitioned into Activant when they acquired Speedware/Enterprise Computer Systems in 2005. Enterprise (ECS) was a wonderful place to work. We really were a family (I know, you hear that all the time, but it was true at ECS). We had great customers, great service & support people, and some of the best sales people in the business.
Cons
ALL THAT CHANGED when ECS 'management' (I won't name them for obvious reasons) sold us out to Activant. Everything we loved about ECS was gone. Holiday Parties, Associate Appreciation Week, afternoon treats, User Conferences... all gone. And gradually over the next 5 years, our office in Greenville went from 150+ employees to 20, thanks to RIF's and associates who wisely saw the writing on the wall. Morale? WHAT morale? it went into the toilet. Every time someone from Westminster and/or Livermore came to GVL, we all panicked. We knew why they were there.
