Pros

Autonomous work but with a short leash.

Cons

really - No HR leader for an HR company. Really! How much of the "hr best practice they give to clients do they actually apply internally. DEI - SR LT. They're all white and they know it and the CEO acknowledges but does NOTHING about it. The previous CEO was schwarmy and the new one had some glimmer of potential change but missed it big time. The company gets sued so often even the legal counsel should have been a diversity hire but again was missed.

Pros

Lots of driving around from site to site with no real purpose just to check a box. Best micro-managers ever. Every day is like a 3-ring circus.

Cons

No raises, no bonus, laughable profit sharing. The culture is to point fingers at everyone else when things go wrong. Diversity and Inclusion is a joke - it isn't valued, just some token posts on the company intranet. Senior management at the branch level is incompetent at best. (My branch area manager literally doesn't know how to use her Outlook calendar - seriously. It's also obvious that she doesn't understand the office financials. She's super reactionary, but if there's a choice to make, she reliably chooses the wrong one.) At the corporate level, don't ever expect a response or a reasonable outcome to any situation/question/concern. They're more into deflecting and telling you how it's probably your fault and you need to try harder.
