Pluspunten
Infor offers a wide range of innovative, respected products, which are relatively easy to sell. With the current executive team there finally seems to be something of a long-term plan in place. This is a decent career starting point for recent college grads with little or no work experience. If you are willing to be patient, work for peanuts, and relocate without a pay increase, there is some potential for advancement. Perfect for young adults who still live with their parents, because quite frankly this job won't pay the bills. Generous PTO.
Minpunten
Management flat out lies about financial and advancement opportunities. Very shady commission practices; they want you to earn it but don't want to pay it. While the company pushes speed as its main marketing focus, internally things move laughably slow; it took eight months (eight!) before I had a commission compensation plan in writing. Any discrepancies with commissions or other salary issues take weeks, if not months, to get resolved, and never seem to work out in the employee's favor. Promotions, most of which were half-way across the country with no increase in pay, are based on the number of interactions (emails, phone calls, etc) one does in a day, so someone who sends out 100 emails /day to invalid addresses will be promoted over those actually generating revenue opportunities. Be forewarned, they sell this as a stepping-stone to a sales position, but a BDR at Infor is a telemarketing position. There is little to no sales training or preparation for advancement; BDRs are not even allowed to communicate with the sales team. Infor seems determined to become Oracle 2.0, but until they are willing to pony up and pay for talent on all levels they will continue to be a second-tier organization. Also, if you treat your employees like children, don't be surprised when they act that way. Ping-pong and office parties do not make up for training, advancement, and compensation.
