Pros

Many great people who genuinely want to see others succeed. Selling the best service/product in the industry. Some great mid level leaders who care about you as more than the number you sold last month.

Cons

The culture at Service Express used to be elite or platinum, some might say. But since the new leadership has stepped in, the company’s culture has been stripped down to buzzwords, fear, and finger-pointing. The numbers show it, and people are leaving in droves. It started at one of the first rallies, where people were split into three groups: Climbers, Campers, and Quitters. Hit your number that month? You’re praised as a Climber. Miss it (regardless of context) and you’re labeled a Camper. Decide another role or company is a better fit? You’ll be branded a Quitter the moment you walk out the door. This has already happened multiple times. Sales rallies now consist of 90% empty motivational-speaker jargon and 10% actual sales data. No strategy, no substance. The approach to sales is one-size-fits-all which simply doesn’t work in hardware and hardware maintenance. Instead of adapting, leadership tries to hammer a software sized peg into a hardware/maintenance hole, and when it fails, the seller is blamed for “not selling the value.” The reality: the sales org is missing goals because great people/talent has already left, and the people still here are actively looking for exits. The culture has turned toxic, morale is at an all-time low, and leadership shows no sign of owning it.

Pros

Some really good people who were considered friends. Had a great culture and a very organic growth mindset. Now being Park Place, they will have a very strong hold on the third party market which should increase margins for sellers. The support offerings have grown too which will allow for increased "stickiness" within each customer.

Cons

Certain events transpired that left the company, which was once great, reminiscing about the good ol days. This also may have caused a bit of a clash between the two cultures, and daily expectations, quotas, metrics, etc., merging into one (merely speculation).
