Pros

A place that when you do well with the responsibilty you have been given, you are given greater opportunity and growth. Career growth is possible. Moving to a global delivery model over the past several years has positioned us well. This is a customer led company ... things like NPS Scores, increased focus on grea implementations and integrating our solutions will make a huge impact.

Cons

We are fiscally conservative in our approach when compared to our competitors. Over the past 10 years, this has been challenging as some have seemed to 'get to the goal quicker', yet in the global circumstances we are in today, we are well positioned financially.

Pros

The health benefits are not bad and neither is the amount of vacation time you receive right off from the beginning, however this does not make up for the way they treat their employees.

Cons

They do not value their employees. Period. Either a person has worked at the company for 20 plus years or four months, they have no problem getting rid of them.

Pros

Ceridian has a solid benefits package. However, employees are as expendable as supplies, and so there is no guarantee that you will keep a job, let alone any benefits.

Cons

The communication of top level management is terrible. Their use of corporate lingo is excessive and patronizing. The wages are low for the amount of work you have to do. There is excessive pressure for you to maintain "productivity" numbers, using a very strict formula with very little room for lee way. When revenue is down, you can be sure that the regular employees will be the first to go, before any other cost-saving avenues are explored. Kathy Marinello brings in a tremendously large salary - she's on the Forbes top 25 richest women list - yet a pay cut for her or other executives wasn't considered before a large amount of workers were laid off. Senior management has no idea what we actually do. Middle management has an idea, but they could not DO what we do, yet the have plenty of advice on HOW we should do what we do. It's like a dog telling a cat how to meow. Ceridian spent millions of dollars on a new content management platform that is riddled with errors and inferior to the previous platform in every conceivable way. The money would have been better spent keeping valued employees. But then, Ceridian does not value its employees. Policy is more important than the nuances of individual situations. Communication is top to bottom only. There is no sense that management or senior management listens to or implements any suggestions made by those on the bottom. It's soul draining work with no professional or emotional rewards. A mental sweatshop.
