Great place to gain experience
Technology Product Consultant (Current Employee), Columbia, MD – April 10, 2013
Pros: opportunities to travel
Cons: poor management, limited training
MICROS is a place where a person with great drive and independence can succeed. Because there is not a lot of formal training, in order to learn products, employees must be extremely motivated. For someone fresh out of college, it is a great place to gain technical experience, knowledge about modern technology, travel the country, and meet peers.
The – more... hardest part of the job is a lack of communication between departments, which results in frustration and miscommunication to the customer.
The most enjoyable part of the job is getting a chance to travel the country on different projects, meet and work with fellow graduates, interact closely with customers, and gain technical and presentation skills. – less

Typical day at work
IT Technical Support (Former Employee), Columbia, MD – April 1, 2013
Pros: great pay, great customer service, great health care benefits
Cons: micro management terrible, no discounts, and hard to advance
Log into your station before your time is in. Sit at your desk, in your cubicle by yourself or with a co worker. Remote into workstations or servers and fix they interfaces or installed opera or and can do a print task assignment. Then you clock out and leave make sure you log off from your phone connection.

Quality is number Zero
Software Engineer (Current Employee), Solon, OH – March 14, 2013
Pros: none really
Cons: everything
The software that is churned out of this place is horrible. When something works, it's because of a "lucky" build, not because of actual process.

Management is non-existent. There are some great co-workers however. This is a great place to work if you just want something on your resume, nothing else.

Nothing more than a source of income
Senior Implementation Specialist (Current Employee), Needham, MA – January 1, 2013
Pros: income if you have no other options
Cons: pretty much everything
The worst company by far that I've ever worked for. No respect for their employees, poor benefits, total failure to provide training or the tools necessary to do your job. Micromanagement that borders on babysitting. No flexibility with office hours, expected to be at your desk from 8:30 to 5 regardless of how many hours you have to put in at night – more... or on weekends. Worked for an implementation manager that had no technical aptitude and no previous experience managing people, apparently got the job through connections with a corporate VP. The entire office, and especially the implementation department was a revolving door. Talented employees quickly move on, weak employees hang around forever. Salary ranges are so low they attract only people looking to stop waiting tables. – less

Great product, great company...
Sales Executive (Current Employee), Southern Indiana and Louisville Ky. – November 29, 2012
Pros: product is fantastic, compensation is adequate and benefits are great.
When I started at MICROS the management team was very strong and supportive. Many have been promoted out of our area with some positions not replaced. Many confusing situations have occurred with the team. Territories were split when sales goals were met or exceeded. We have had two new sales executives join the company and leave the company since January.
My – more... comfort level is very low which is leading me to explore other opportunities. – less

Great implementation experience and project management opportunity
IT Product Inventory Coordinator (Former Employee), Denver, CO – November 8, 2012
Pros: programming and implementation experience, customer-facing interactions, on-site meetings, working in co
Cons: fear culture, low pay
A typical day at work for me at Micros was managing and coordinating multiple projects and accounts simultaneously. Much of my day consisted of planning, scheduling, and reporting of current accounts and client installations that were approaching deadlines or currently being performed.

The environment was fast-paced complete with aggressive deadlines – more... and could be somewhat chaotic.

Problem-solving skills and a collaborative attitude was a must!

The hardest part of the job was the company culture of fear-based management and low compensation despite superior performance and consistently hitting targeted company objectives.

Thus, I focused on my work and my customers.

I found a way to achieve enjoyment through my work responsibilities. I hammered out my assignments and installation campaigns, happily supervised and monitored my projects and accounts and took great pleasure in building my business relationships while providing excellent customer service.

The most enjoyable part of my job was the project management aspect of my responsibilities and being able to successfully manage and coordinate accounts and client installations ensuring collaborative work with various teams, departments, and my customers. – less

Technical Support Analyst (Current Employee), Columbia, MD – August 3, 2012
Pros: hours
Cons: limited room for advancement
Limited room for advancement
The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the callers i.e. General Managers, Front office staff, owners and assisting them with various Micros products to make the hotel more efficient.

I learned that although we have limited job advancement helping customers and having customers appreciate what you do is more – more... satisfying than anything – less
