Pros

The company as a whole might be a good one but if you are in a toxic department you won't see any pro's for working here.

Cons

The environment within their payroll department is one of the most toxic environments I've witnessed. My first day I was told to not use my actual job title because it upset someone in the department who was not given the same title. I was not permitted to use my official job title until after this person received their promotion. Do not start an employee off on their first day telling them someone on the team already dislikes them. Not that I think it would matter because the employees (90%) that have been with that department for awhile (small handful since the turnover is so high in this department) are not there to be team players. The amount of negativity spread just from a few select individuals would not permit anyone to come into that department and feel anything positive. The work load is extremely unbalanced and management is a joke. I was told that "the department is better than it used to be but we just can't seem to make it any better." That basically sums up this department and I don't foresee it ever getting better based on the management and senior team members they have with the exception of one. I read all the reviews about PRO before accepting their offer (which as management liked to remind me they "jumped through hoops" to get me hired...that was their choice to make.) and thought based on the reviews of other departments it would be worth the gamble. Biggest mistake of my career. Not only did it suck the life out of me for 7 months but it was also a step backward in my career as it's mainly data entry and customer service. I will never recommend anyone work for PRO within their payroll department.

Pros

Ability to work with FAANG company with opportunity for transition to FTE. Very responsive team to any questions.

Cons

Contract work, so role may or may not be renewed depending on company needs. Not really a con, just the nature of the job. Very few PTO days.

Pros

They pay you regularly - that is about it

Cons

They are only interested in their own bottom line and explained nothing to me when I was brought in by their client for a contract but needed to be paid and actually employed via Magnit. They employed me as a W2 and I didn't realize it was an option to go in as a contract 1099 - which would have increase my net significantly, since I have an LLC set up and have been doing taxes as self employed for several years. They didn't let me know that I should be on benefits and sent me no paperwork to enroll. The amount of money they saved from me not collecting benefits is terrible along with what I was paying for healthcare etc. I have to leave the client early because of the issues with Magnit even though they would like me to stay for an additional year.
