Pros

Competitive compensation structure with solid earning potential. Day-one benefits are a major plus (health, 401k, etc.). The internal platform is intuitive and easy to navigate. Plenty of perks like snacks, lunches, and free food

Cons

Base salary is on the lower end, so expect small checks for the first few months. Training is heavily product-focused but lacks practical guidance for solving real client problems, especially for those new to HR/payroll terminology. Work-life balance is more theoretical than real — flexibility is tied to hitting high performance goals like President’s Club. Leadership often leans into motivational speaking rather than actionable strategy or support. Think Keynote Motivational speaker

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
