Pros

Best in class technology Best in class service Solid culture, but slowly dying Solid compensation and benefits Relatively accessible leadership

Cons

Lots of former ADP and Paychex leaders that do things the old way Lots of promises not delivered upon by leadership Terrible, and I mean terrible internal technology Implementations and integrations go awry often and all you hear is excuses from internal teams If you try to make function improvements, you will be attacked for not "Drinking Our Own Wine" (it is that cult like here and that is an official saying with stickers everywhere called #DOOW)

Pros

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.
