Pros

Decent benefits, pay and amazing people you will work alongside.

Cons

Read the other reviews. If you choose to work here prepare to be gaslit, verbally abused, and fear for your job security and work load on a daily basis. You have a CEO that leads through fear, and will talk about employees behind closed doors as if they are simply lines on a spreadsheet. He has no compassion or empathy to you, but will demand loyalty or you will be dismissed. He is a megalomaniac, full of ego, and has surrounded himself with Yes-Men. Nothing will change as long as he is at the helm. They have "restructurings" aka massive layoffs at least twice a year. The first time, they will gaslight you and say it was good for the business, and it is nothing to worry about. You may believe them, and feel motivated to keep working, then 3-6 months later there will be another where some of your friends and respected colleagues will be affected. They will have the same talking points, will scapegoat people you work with closely and you will feel like something is not right. Then on the next one, suddenly you are the one that is cut and scapegoated. Do not work here. You will need therapy if you spend more than 6 months here, it is that toxic. Every employee that I talk to jokes about some kind of PTSD and the scars they have from working at this company. This is not a normal feeling to have at a job.

Pros

The people you work with.

Cons

A circus full of clowns run this company, they couldn’t even run a Target. The execs and VP’s act like children when they receive feedback they get all in their feelings and you become targeted because you want to make the place and platform better. They based their whole operation and workflow on books they read, one book you will hear throughout is a Navy Seals book that talks about “extreme ownership” yet they can’t even own their ideas, even when it blows in their face and it doesn’t work out. Higher ups walk around thinking they’re better than everybody, not even a good morning is good enough. They talk about learning from a navy seals book? Learn some manners first. The platform itself is one big entire bug, they spend all their money on parties instead on the actual thing that will make them the money they desperately need and that is the PLATFORM. Clients reach out everyday trying to get their platform issue fix but no one even bothers fixing it so for months the clients are left in the dark that they end up cancelling. GOOD LUCK to the clients that want to cancel, you will be given the run around for your refund. Training portal is a mess itself, but payroll takes the cake! Good luck getting paid on time using their Bambee payroll, check amounts not being correct, taxes are all off, wages are not even the correct amount, but yet they still sell payroll knowing it’s a huge CLOWN SHOW! The “executives” and I put quotation marks because they’re far from that. No type of accountability for their bad decisions, they’ll blame the reps when they should be firing themselves for being incompetent in making decisions for the company. Keep reading the books you read as a matter fact I’ll recommend a book that you should read “How to Run a Business for Dummies”. They make decisions on new products yet they can’t even fix the platform itself, and they roll out the half-ass glitchy product without a heads up to the reps nor the clients. What happened to Nectar ? LOL They raise prices by 200% and fail to notify the client and the rep. Yet they’re surprised when clients want to cancel for a overprice 2005 HR software. They put people in positions that never been in before or no knowledge of what they’re doing. When I say they couldn’t run a Target I mean it, I doubt they can figure out the pricing at a Dollar tree. There’s been 4 layoffs in the past 2 yrs here and not one investor has questioned it, im sure they manipulate the data and lie about the numbers. WOULDN’T BE SURPRISE!!! These layoffs affect reps but won’t affect the executives from the VP’s, COO, COF it affects none of them which is why they sit there with a blank stare looking at space laying off reps because there’s no backlash against those so called higher ups. YOU EXECUTIVES MADE THESE DECISIONS TO RUN THE COMPANY THIS WAY! IT IS YOUR SCREW UP! you don’t listen to the reps when we truly want the best for the company and good ideas but the egotistical mindset in that place will run it to the ground. This is the biggest political job there is. There’s people who have done far worse things and yet get promoted, it’s about who you know at this place and how boot you are willing to lick. All the executives are just friends from Fan Duel and Zip Recruiter. They also remind you day in and day out about their glory days in their former companies and how they all protect each other from their screw ups. ITS ONE BIG HS! They should have named the place Riverdale because it’s a mystery everyday with garbage outcomes. Wouldn’t be surprise if this place goes bankrupt by the end of the year. FIX THE PLATFORM!!!! TAKE “EXTREME OWNERSHIP” OF YOUR SCREW UPS AND BE LOGICAL.

Pros

- meeting some amazing people with different backgrounds who you’ll work very close with everyday -Exposure to so many different HR scenarios

Cons

Long hours. Expect to work 12 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week. No work-life balance. Management expects you to be available 6 hours out of the day for calls to your 400-500 client book and you have very little time to actually do the work you’re promising to clients. The product itself is a joke, you’ll have customers complain day in and day out that something doesn’t work and it negatively affects your CSAT score which you’re heavily graded on. You also have to respond to client messages and meet SLA’s or else you’ll get put on a PIP if you’re below the goal. It’s literally impossible to do this work and keep a sane mind but management literally does not care or cares to listen. They recently took work for home Fridays which was our day to reset and have some control back into our day but management is pushing an in-office culture. This was a time where we could pick up our kids from school and be there for our families. Yet they have HR managers that are remote who were hired during the pandemic. Everyone is literally fried. The turn over is so bad, get ready to pick up the previous HRM’s slack and inherit more clients from their book and adding it to your plate. Save yourself the headache and go work for a company that cares about their staff and customers. Everything you see in their About Me section on their website and job posts is just a bunch of bologna. Most of those people you see there either quit or was fired during the Great Termination last year.
