Pros

Growing company with plenty of growth opportunity.

Cons

Stressful times await at this time if year EVERY year, especially for client-facing staff. It’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to staff for YE throughout the year, because the volume of work isn’t there all year, but it makes for a very stressful few months. The volume of clients gets to be unmanageable for a 40 hour work week, and OT requires approval. This time of year, there is no work life balance, when you actually want it the most.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
