Pros

Great people to work with. Friendly and helpful in meeting your goals. BEST product offering in the industry and NOT PRIVATE EQUITY!

Cons

Too Salesforce heavy. Disconnect from IT teams and senior management to the needs of the sales team. Salesforce is NOT the end all, be all. It is a clunky system that doesn't work in a mobile environment and is WAY over-complicated.
