Pros

- The benefits are great! - The Pay is great. - even though I work from home they make you feel included, they sent packages to your home, and they check in on you almost daily to ensure you are doing alright within the role and as a person.

Cons

- training was nice and fun but did not prepare me for the stress of this role at all. I have clients upset and almost mad at me daily because they messed up and they want me to fix it, which isn't how this goes. you start off knowing NOTHING in your role, you know nothing about payroll, taxes, and their software. but yet here you are on the floor. they think they make things better by providing a mess of teams chats and this internal library called PEAK. However, Peak can be hard to navigate, and sometimes ( a lot of times) no one answers you in the teams chat until the client has already hung up on you and now you're on another call. and the cherry on top? if you hate your role and want to switch departments, you have to suffer in your current role for roughly 13months before they even consider transferring you. you can be an excellent fit for another role in another department but they will deny you because of tenure alone. So I would pick your role very carefully when applying or else you are stuck with it for 13 months or you can quit. a good chunk of my peers from training have quit within the first week after getting out of training. more of my peers want to quit but waiting on securing a job elsewhere first.

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.
