Worst Company I Have Ever Worked Fo

Human resources consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees are the best thing about BBSI and I will never understand why they stay, except out of fear.

Cons

Will step on their employees to get a client. Employees are overworked and underappreciated, not to mention are not listened to.

Pros

There may have been once, but the same clowns are running things and they don’t learn from past mistakes. However, smaller branches, you might have a chance at those locations

Cons

No Real Managers or leaders just clowns. Most leaders possess no background in owning a significant company, you can’t count a failed mom and pop shop as expert successful experience

Terrible company with unethical business practices

Human resources consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people and team I worked with

Cons

This company is so unethical and does not care about their employees or the concerns that they have. If you say anything that is not what they want to hear you will get fired! The Area Managers are a joke, and just puppets of a seriously disconnected C-suite. They claim to advise companies on best practices yet they themselves do not practice what they preach. They are in violation of so many regulations and laws it will make your head spin. Do not work for this company or you will regret it. Not only are they not respected out in the business community, if you are associated with them you will lose respect yourself from colleagues because anyone in the PEO realm knows how shady BBSI is. They claim to be one of the largest and best yet you cant find them even in the top 20! Run and run fast!
