Pros

- Still in Findlay, for now. (until things move to Orlando) - It is a job.

Cons

- Management is sneaky and does things behind our backs. There is no transparency within this organization. - Uneasy feeling among employees and no feeling of stability about the future of the office within the Findlay, OH location. - Either promotes from within without a raise or will hire externally and bring in someone new to the RPO/recruiting field starting at about approx. $25,000 - $30,000/yr more than others performing the same job. - There are opportunities for promotion within, but the company does not pay. The company feels that the employees working here are not "good enough" at their jobs to deserve career advancements. - Lack of raises and a bonus structure except for those at the very top of the company scale. - Dealing with ungrateful clients. This is more of a glorified babysitter job than it is a consultant to the hiring managers. - There is a major lack of recognition within the company for the job(s) being performed, and an overall lack of guidance for its employees. It is easier to point fingers and blame than it is to help correct and solve the problems.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
