Pros

The work environment is very supportive and accommodating. Supervisors and management generally very approachable and want to invest in your long term development.

Cons

It's not a particularly exciting place to work, typical office environment with little variability in a lot of the daily tasks. Great for someone who wants stability and slow steady growth but for someone looking to move up the corporate ladder very quickly and wants to take chances this maybe too safe of a job if that makes any sense. The full benefits package is nice and that's how they sell you but the salaries are lower than you will find with other companies.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
