Pros

BBSI has hired some very talented people and does great work assisting and guiding small business owners. I think Gary Kramer, the new CEO, is very smart and hopefully will make some big changes. They are needed!

Cons

The benefits were horrible. One week of vacation the first year and no ability to participate in the 401k until you have been there one year. The incentive plan is extremely hard to understand how to make money. Favoritism is rampant. Be careful which office you decide to work in, some managers are so hands off that they don’’t communicate with the employees.
