Pros

Solid top performing organization with a great reputation and a lot of employee benefits. Salaries are highly competitive and there are job opportunities in almost any location you'd like to be. The company does change with the times and embrace new platforms and technologies, but when you are as big as ADP with as many clients as ADP, change does not happen overnight. If you're willing to work hard and be the best you can be, the rewards will come.

Cons

Upward movement can sometimes be slow for those with fast track minds, but the reality is that people who are stellar performers and have or acquire the skills for the next level to zip through the ranks in short order are rare in any organization. Many business units operate in silos still.

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.
