Pros

-Senior Specialist pay -soda for a quarter in the vending machines -teammates -the facilities are nice -they seem to be understanding if you have to call in sick every once in awhile. You didn’t feel like job was in jeopardy if you or your kid got sick .

Cons

-if you add your children to your insurance the deduction goes from a dollar per paycheck to about 130 -team leaders push you away to other members of the team when you need help. -PSD is the middle man between the client and several of our other departments such as tax, benefits, legal, HCM, PPA team. This causes frustration for the client and PSD takes the heat for it. -the daily update videos are not helpful and seem to be just a checklist item. - PSD always has stuff added to their workload but nothing is ever reduced. -who’s bright idea was it to take away the TSS position? Now that specialists have to do almost all of their own payrolls it consumes almost their entire days work on Tuesdays and Wednesday’s. I spent hours doing payrolls which caused me to not be able to respond to client emails in a timely manner . That causes clients to be frustrated and complain which gets the Specialist in trouble .TSS primary role was doing payrolls which was a great benefit to the teams.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
