Pros

The pay was fairly good. The co-workers at my level were good people.

Cons

If you are offered a contract job with Sage, do not accept it. It's a scam. They will dangle the carrot in front of you for a year, lie to you that you that they plan to make you a permanent employee and then kick you to the curb. It happened to 4 of the 5 people hired around the time I was hired and then it happened to me. I was told the whole time what a great job I was doing and was then fired for "making too much money" They actually said that! They plan to replace me with another victim at a lower pay rate. Also, the software is outdated and not very good. They recently renamed everything to give it a fresh sound, but it's still the same old software.

Pros

Good pay, flexible scheduling, a/c

Cons

Too many to list: management is not supportive on new employees and uses a "divide & conquer" scheme to pit you against others and thus oust you cleverly by quitting without having to fire you. If you like a noisy environment without sufficient training and enjoy ppl that taddle, this might be the place for you. Their cubicles are mid level and dont muffle any racket in the office. 401k matches at only 3.5% - on web. Constant turnover problems even though they lie about it. Managers do not know the job of their subordinates. Staff not being equally promoted to seniors. This a hire the smile, know the skill type of place. Managers are very remote and not interested. If this still doesnt convince you, get hired there. After leaving, they were hiring a new VP for employee learning!
