Pros

- unlimited PEO - but get ready for comments from management when you actually take off, and good luck hitting quota that month

Cons

- the pay is a joke - took away everything we could sell - oh did I mention the pay is a joke? - leadership takes little to no responsibility - my team has had over 5 reps quit in a 3-5 month window - the OTE is also a joke - maybe 10 percent of reps will actually hit that - training is focused on how to sell not actually learning what you are selling and becoming a subject matter expert - churn and burn sales - micromanagement is insane the worst iv had in the 8 year career - zone managers are all hoorahhhh and actually do nothing its insane they are paid for what they do

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
