Datatel Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Data-Tel was envisioned over 20 years ago with the premise that companies pay too much to the telco vendors. This vision has allowed Data-tel to develop into a world class organization. The president of the organization, whom I report directly to, is concerned about doing the right thing over making money. A trait that developed in the employees and made for a strong organization with clients that feel good about doing business with us. I would highly recommend Data-Tel and its staff."

What don't you like about working at Datatel?

"Datatel has changed significantly over the past years- I would certainly no longer consider it a best place to work. Management, and VPs don't seem competent or caring about the majority of employees. It's all about the bottom line. The products that are in development are not good, full of bugs, and when compared to competitors pretty pathetic. But, they know they've got a captive audience of clients who won't spend the money right now to switch to a better non-legacy system."

What don't you like about working at Datatel?

"I worked there before the original owner died, Russ Griffith. He built a fantastic company - personnel wise too - but unfortunately after his death, everything changed. The new CEO fired and laid people off -- via grouping everyone together and telling them to go via a room packed together with a bridge phone for remote employees! People that had been there for over 30 years! He never really said that they were being fired, but fired they were. Some of the finest minds in education disappeared in a short phone call. All they great benefits and rewards and management also ended. They restructured to just a typical corporate, no leniency company. I worked so many hours that I would stay till daybreak, go shower, come back!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Those that are left - remember when you began and why you stayed. Most of all, remember you may be the next corralled group that disappears."

"Good place to work."

"Great place to work, lots of things to learn!!!"
