ADP reviews

Ironically, after they research your last ten years with a fine tooth comb in order to get the job, they treat you like you're right out of college no matter your background or experience. I was put in a territory that historically underperformed, but six months after proving to my management that the territory had great potential (finished the year at 176% to plan), I was then put on a bench and a croony (who was under 90 day notice in another division) was given the territory. They then took away my car and phone allowance. As a GEO DM, I should have gotten a company car, but was denied. One week after the croony started he got a company car. The favortism is so in your face its sickening, but they act and talk like everyone has a level playing field-- which the place insane. If you dont have a relative or someone you know within the company pull you in, and you're over 40, my advice is NOT TO APPLY. You will be over before it begins, and if like me you succeed in spite of their restrictions they will put you on a bench.

Too much secrecy regarding the many layoffs and terminations the last five years. Co-workers literally disappear on their way to the bathroom and are never heard from again. Management will not say anything more than the individuals no longer work for ADP and thereafter denies the very existence of such individuals. Office environment definitely a cross between Twilight Zone and Third Reich. Promotional opportunities only available to those with family or close friend connections to current management. Favored associates who get married or have a child are usually rewarded with a promotion, even if unmerited by performance. Everyone else is told to keep working hard, learning new skills, be a supportive team player, etc. -- and maybe someday they might advance a level and receive a full 4% pay increase. Time off not allowed from Thanksgiving until February due to year-end work volume, except for those select few on the fast track upward. Some associates even called at home on Christmas and/or the New Year's Day holiday itself and ordered to report to work on short notice, regardless of their personal family plans. Vacation time for the rest of the year must be scheduled in January and not changed under threat of disciplinary action. Family or personal emergencies requiring a few unexpected hours away from work also result in verbal and written warnings and negative performance reviews. Of course, all these rules only apply to rank-and-file associates, not the brown-noses and management friends and relatives.
