Pros

If you believe what you are told this is a great place to work with great benefits.

Cons

Almost everything you are told by management is a lie. Examples: Employer 401K contributions are taken out of profit sharing checks. Not only does this effect promised compensation but it is an ERISA violation. Employer health insurance. Does not exist because as a self insured employer BBSI charges premiums AND deducts all actual costs from the branches and profit sharing which means BBSI employees don't actually have health insurance coverage. The CEO's entire career is a fraud. None of his career accomplishments are true. BBSI is currently being investigated by the SEC for securities fraud. BBSI recently fired their CFO for making unsubstantiated journal entries. CFO is a scapegoat. CEO directed him to make those changes.

Pros

Love the autonomy and responsibility afforded to all employees!

Cons

Employee benefits could be better. I am sure that many branches reach their goals for profit sharing, but from what I have heard, our branch is prevented from earning this due to a client write off from the past.
