Avantages

The employees make work fun and engaging, I was able to learn a lot and really enjoyed coming to work. The team was enjoyable and everyone was nice, issues were few and far between. Was a great place to learn for 4 years but I was glad to leave. Pay was average, not exceptional but not bottom of the barrel.

Inconvénients

Insurance was terrible, there is ZERO leave for pregnant women. There is 401k match but only after 1 year, and you have to stay 7 years to be vested, which means they will get rid of you befre 7 years. Management is clueless, and still operating the company as if it were 1999 and they are a 15 person company. Was often encouraged to lie to customers to get them to buy new things they didn't need. Was often encouraged to not fix issues so customer would have to spend more money to get more support. Any pro-active work to mitigate issues the client may have to prevent future issues was not allowed, unless on billable time. If nothing was breaking and we didn't get any calls, it was assumed we weren't doing anything useful and we were in trouble. There was zero opportunity to take an hour of the day and learn something new, something that would be massively beneficial for you and the company. CEO cares about the bottom line only, nothing else matters. The employee doesn't matter, the customer doesn't matter, only the bank account matters. There is no job growth opportunity at all, there is no room for advancement because every management job is taken by "managers" who won't leave because at any other job, they'd be making 25k a year and would be in charge of the fry machine.

At LCS, we truly value our employees. Our employees are eligible to take 12 weeks off work to care for their newborn and themselves after the birth of a child. We benchmark our insurance benefits against the market on a regular basis and believe we have a very competitive benefits package. We provide a matching contribution of 100% up to 4% of pay into employees’ 401(K) accounts. Employees are fully vested in the 401(K) employer matching contributions immediately upon receiving it. Additionally, we have an annual discretionary profit sharing contribution which has been 3.6%. This results in employer 401(K) contributions of up to 7.6% of pay each year! Like our employees, customers are very precious to LCS. Nothing is more important to us than being courteous, helpful, and honest with our customers and we take that very seriously. Under no circumstances would anyone be encouraged to not take care of our customers. We take pride in the fact that LCS has many customers that have been using our software and services for 20+ years. If you experienced anything other than this we wish you would have reported it to our Human Resources department or our President/CEO so that it could have been addressed. We are sorry you had a negative experience and wish you the best in your career.

Avantages

Work life balance, co-workers that are helpful and never make me feel less than, flexible hybid schedule, a product/mission/leadership I am happy to work for.

Inconvénients

Not really a con since I am not experienced enough yet,.. but I just hope their pay increases match what is being offered in the open market as I progress in experience, I would stay here for life as long as I am not missing out on any financial opportunities that would help make my life more secure.

Avantages

- Good culture - competent managers & coworkers - front loaded 15 day pto, 7 flex days, hybrid 3/2 schedule is a good amount of flexibility for Ohio - some room to grow if you’re a high performer - 3-5% merit raises, low, but consistent - 5% bonus has paid out consistently - the building and grounds are nice and up kept well - chill dress code unless meeting with clients/c-suite

Inconvénients

- poor processes, with little to no documentation on how things work - no one willing to set hard fast rules that are industry standard for tech/software - legacy code with a mountain of tech debt and no sense of urgency to clean it up. This is a key reason why collaboration is halted across departments and deadlines are barely met, as a tough look at the codebase along with changes would create much more efficiency/better product output - do not expect to get paid fair or well here as noted in many other reviews, this is a place to get some YOE & move on - 0 transparency for pay bands or paths to promotion - enterprise software that doesn’t want to pay for internal enterprise tooling. Manually digging up metrics, stretching low tier plans to their limit, no way to see how projects you’ve worked months on have turned out etc - meeting rooms with the cheapest mice/keyboards money can buy - C-suite has openly stated how much hybrid causes ‘scheduling issues’, if another building is purchased expect to RTO or only have the option to WFH on Fridays (if that!) despite our consistent double digit growth
