Pros

This company was really good when it was ADP. Then Tony Aquilla bought it and it wasn't super bad or anything until he left and Vista took over. The pay was decent, hours, vacation. Bonus money every quarter. And when the pandemic hit they let everyone work from home and still do.

Cons

When Vista took over it all went downhill and the pandemic only worsened it all. The last two years of my employment two guys in charge ran the place into the ground with micromanaging and got rid of a lot of nice things, especially the bonus money quarterly. To top it off they don't even work there anymore now I heard, one quit and other got let go finally. Anyways then the pandemic hit and the company decided to secretly change their vacation policy. That change cheated several hundreds of employees badly by not wanting to pay out vacation time they accrued if they quit or got fired or were let go. They didn't even communicate it properly and send it in an email. Instead it was secretly slid into some documents online in the HR section that none of looked at unless something was communicated to us about a change. We all found out when a co worker who retired got cheated out of his money. I had been with the company for over 20 years and lost over 200 hours of vacation time when I quit. Also during the pandemic they reduced our hours for 12 weeks and wouldn't do partial unemployment for our office with no explanation but they did it for another office no problem in another state. The manager who no longer is there claimed it was HR and HR said it was that manager's decision and to talk to them. So none of us really got any real truthful answers. Thousands of dollars more of us lost including the $600 pandemic money you could get weekly from the government for our office. None of it made any sense and still doesn't. Now I hear some employees got let go and got paid nice severances. How can you afford that but not the vacation pay? Or even let the government help your employees during the pandemic financially? That last question is the biggest mystery of all.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The company has significant issues that make it difficult to recommend as a long-term workplace. HR support is virtually non-existent, leaving employees without meaningful assistance when concerns arise. Favoritism appears to influence decisions more than performance or merit, creating an unfair work environment. There are very few opportunities for career growth, and many employees find themselves in stagnant roles with little chance for advancement. Even when employees consistently exceed expectations and earn recognition, raises are infrequent or nonexistent, making it difficult to feel valued for hard work. Additionally, there is a noticeable lack of professionalism at the management level. Communication, accountability, and leadership standards need significant improvement. Overall, the company would benefit from investing in stronger leadership, a more effective HR department, and a culture that rewards performance fairly.
