      Pros

      Great co-workers at least when we worked together at a center as now we are all remote from home. Good benefits. Steady raises with bonus potential. Training is great and constant better than other places.

      Cons

      Upward mobility seems to be dependent on the hiring manager. Seems a bit political. Too many clients assigned to most payroll specialists too handle. Can give better service if we had 10-15 percent fewer clients assigned. Blackout months from Dec-Feb limit your time off options then. Some mangers micro manage and others are great.

      We just wanted to say thank you for writing your review. The Payroll Specialist role can be demanding at times and you have given us some great things to consider. We definitely want all of our employees to know that their voices are heard and we encourage them to speak to their direct manager or HR about any concerns they have. We believe we offer many great advancement opportunities as a company and with more positions being able to reside in multiple locations the opportunities are growing. Thanks again for the thoughtful words and we wish you success in your career.

      Pros

      People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

      Cons

      Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

      Pros

      Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

      Cons

      Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
