Pros

flexible, friendly environment, casual, great experience, good to have the name on your resume, fortune 500 company, sometimes the ability to work from home.

Cons

the pay is sometimes not comparable to other people working at the same level as you are even though you work more efficiently and have a better work ethic but mostly because they've been there longer than you have been. it's good to come here and gain the experience but i've noticed that if you stay for more than 5 years, your pay increases don't move up proportionally to the number of years that you have served. it's hard to get promotions, you have to ask for them or threaten to leave in order to get more money. you do the same tasks over and over again and the job description becomes less challenging. very steep learning curve in the first year.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
