Pros

Since my first day working at CBIZ I have not found any Pros that I can list.

Cons

Where do I begin... Their technology isn't their own that they are attempting to sell as a service for Payroll, Time Keeping and Employee management and the solution providers they have gone with are outdated and lack basic functions that most providers offer. Management staff is by far the most dysfunctional group of people I have ever seen. The benefits team doesn't play well with the payroll team and neither team play well with the accountant's team. I feel like our internal teams are our biggest competitor, instead of working together they all work against eachother. Our Marketing team is pretty much nonexistent. Sales Producers have to create their own marketing campaigns that eats into their monthly budget to be able to meet with potential clients. Speaking of sales budget, it is the lowest I've ever had in field sales. To get an expense report approved is next to impossible. For a company issued cell phone, while on the road my charger stopped working, I purchased a new charger with my company card and when I submitted my expense report found out that it was considered a personal expense that I then needed to reimburse the company for. Their pay scale is not to industry standard, I was promised a sales guarantee when I accepted the job and found out in training that they where not going to give out the guarantee anymore.

Pros

Great team and seems like there’s good work-life balance.

Cons

Could’ve been more organized with the intern class on some events and check-ins.

Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.
