Pros

Free lunches twice monthly Holiday party is a lot of fun A lot smart of people working there

Cons

Pay is not commensurate with the amount of work you are expected to do. Training process was non existent. I was thrown into my role with essentially no training at all and expected to do it correctly. No feedback. I was released for poor performance, however this was never indicated as an issue to me by management until I was in a meeting with the HR manager and my manager where I was let go. My department also only ever had one team meeting in the 5 months I was employed and I never had a 90 day review. Company systems are incredibly disjointed and communicating/coordinating with other departments is an absolute nightmare. Management is unwilling to entertain any solutions about this as it doesn't really affect them.

Pros

I loved most everyone in the building, with a few exceptions. Very friendly and helpful team in the Payroll Department. The current manger, Krista, is amazing. I loved most of my clients, I was able to build a great report with many of them. I actually loved my job and my time at Focus. Fun atmosphere - lunch parties, potluck, cookie contests at Christmas, a fun holiday party, and even access to go to the Centurion's party. Also, "Puppy Fridays" when you can bring your dog to work is awesome!

Cons

Complete lack of communication from the HR Department to the Payroll Department. As a Payroll Specialist you are expected to be the point of contact for your clients, but HR leaves you in the dark about what is going on, so you often don't know how to handle client's inquiries about issues they are having. There is also not a clear metric for who-does-what between Payroll and HR; it's very frustrating. There is a high turnover in the building, so you never really seem to know who is doing what job and therefore you don't know who in the building to contact when your client has, say a benefits or worker's comp questions. Also, I witnessed a fellow Payroll Specialist get reprimanded for a mistake her client made; even with email proof of what the client had said to the PRS the company chose to believe the client when they said the PRS had messed up. It makes one feel as if they are walking on pins and needles.

Pros

It’s a job. Better than nothing.

Cons

Poor upper management if you can even call it that. Constant drama. Constant turnover and now I see why. Non existent training. No room for growth. Worst job I’ve ever had.
