Pros

Strong compensation and benefits package compared to many companies in Oklahoma. Opportunity to learn fast and gain exposure to product management and HCM technology at scale. Some incredibly talented peers who truly care about their work.

Cons

The culture is toxic, controlling, and fear-based. Leadership talks about “growth” but often operates through intimidation, micromanagement, and favoritism. Promotions are inconsistent and political — I was denied five times despite meeting expectations and being in the role for years, while others were promoted in under a year based solely on who they know. Burnout is normalized. High turnover isn’t addressed, it’s accepted. Innovation is stifled by leadership egos — often good ideas are ignored unless they come from the “right” person. Ten years in, I left with anxiety, CPTSD triggers, and the need to completely reset my nervous system.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
