Pros

cafeterias, gym, healthcare, child care (once you've been there for about 3 years). The company benefits are excellent. The building are new and beautiful. The Cary campus is wonderful.

Cons

out of touch management - I worked in the Sas solutions on demand group (SSOD) , and it's very different from what you hear about SAS. You are expected to work 50+ hours per week, many times through the night without any time off the next day. There is no work/life balance, like the older parts of SAS have. This division is run completely differently from the rest of the company. No one from the rest of the company will move into this department, and it's commonly spoken of as a "sweat shop." Even if you use this as a foot in the door to the company, there's no guarantee that you'll get to move to another division, even after you have served the required year in this division. SAS is a great company, but they have really fallen down on this division.

Pros

The campus is nice and good benefits. The food in the cafeteria is good and priced well when you are in Cary.

Cons

Sales management is poor and out of touch. The comp is below market. Innovation is too slow. If you are not based in Cary it's a below average place to work. Sales management in some areas is very weak and they are starting to experience high attrition due to their mismanagement.

Pros

good benefits. Initially, a great culture.

Cons

It takes a lot of time and effort to build a culture, but it can be ruined in a blink. Great products don't help when there is lack of customer orientation, lack of strategy and poor awareness of where the market is heading. The company has moved too slow and it seems as if it is collapsing. SAS need to re-invent their way of thinking, to become more customer oriented and change from inside-out to outside-in. The company needs to change its ways of thinking and comparing the sales work to hockey hasn't been the right cure.As country managers were swapped out, the company culture went down the drain.
