Pros

I was an Implementation Project Manager within the benefits division. Overall good company to work for, but too many changes, shifts. Good pay compared to some competitors. Very flexible with working from home.

Cons

-Much older environment, which in some cases causes people who have been at the company for 10, 15, 20+ years to feel threatened by younger employees who have good ideas. -Lack of focus on innovation. Good ideas are very often ignored, or brushed aside for years and years. -Cyclical reorganization. Entry level managers are promoted up from within, and then every few years a reorg happens and those managers are eliminated. -Your experience here will be VERY MUCH based on your manager. I had 7 different managers over my 6 years at ADP. 5 of those managers were great, and my successes during those times were great. 2 managers were very difficult to work for. 1 of those managers was let go less than 1 year in.

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.
