It USED TO BE a great place to work

Pros

The benefits were good, work/life balance was great. When districts were managed locally, management was great.

Cons

Too much talent was let go: 1) at the expense of trying to move everyone to a Center of Excellence. 2) to save a few bucks (short sighted), Ceridian lost local contact with the customers. Ceridian did not value employees experience, knowledge and loyalty.

Pros

I think there are a lot of smart people working at ceridian. The business is facing some tough business/market challenges right now, but it seems like leadership at all levels is making the right decisions. No one seems to be freaking out about the challenges and current business performance.

Cons

With the departure of former CEO Kathy Marinello and the market headwinds currently blowing Ceridian is having to face a lot of different issues. The Payroll BU's model is heavily dependent upon employment rates and until companies start hiring again and interest rates go up Ceridian is bound to tread water.

Pros

A lot of loyal employees who really care

Cons

Sigh...want to love the company and stay forever and make them successful...but; Management Team in place unfocused on anything but their own survival right now, Too many senior C-level and VP positions with 'intermediate' individuals in place due to qualified prospects turning down key positions due to market positioning, Too many incompetent middle managers from AVP to DVP levels with questionable ethics and values, Employee engagement at lowest point ever due to lack of focus and destination for financially drowning company, Sales totals running at under 30% of plan for 2 years running and shrinking still on reduced quotas in US and Canada, Existing customer base shrinking at 22% per year, Too many managers that cared and brought personal and team success either managed out of 'boys club' or left out of frustration, Debt to revenue ratios now over 5 to 1, New product 'savior' delayed due to funding and accounting irregularities for another 18-24 months, And on and on. Used to be such a fine place to work. A lot of training and opportunity for personal growth and success. Allowed the ability to contribute to their success for people who cared and wanted to achieve career progression. Now, a big multilayered debt machine that cannot feed itself anymore. Investment partners at wits end wondering how to recoup investment and not lose millions upon millions. More cutbacks on people, locations, and product development today after the purge of the past 3 years occurring again, with more to come at end of Q2....
