Pros

I worked for this company for over a year and every month got progressively worse. Within 2 months of minimal training, my boss and the entire executive team who I worked closely with quit. Over time, we lost many valuable employees due to constant fluctuations in business hierarchy and poor management, including most of the payroll team. This caused the Client Relations dept to lose many reputable clients; without anyone to process payroll, our clients employees would not get paid and so began the cascading effect of losing clients daily. It felt illegal that clients who were paying Vensure to process their payroll would usually end up with incorrect payroll or no payroll at all. It became very apparent in the client relations dept that we had absolutely no control over retention of clients, due to this constant issue across the company. Based on company decisions, my impression of the CEO is greedy to absorb as many division partners as possible, without first taking the time to ensure that existing employees and departments are staying afloat. The continuous acquisition has caused many hardworking respectful employees to be overworked and underpaid (think 60+ hr weeks for parents). There is also no culture other than stressful environments and the 'housewives of chandler' which consist of executives who talk badly about eachother and do whatever they can to get ahead. It's actually really sad and sets a toxic work environment for the rest of the teams. I was also not impressed with the company's internal CRM and found that the Sales/Implementation team would sell the client on a CRM that had all the 'bells and whistles' and could do everything. However, once the client was pushed off to the Client Relations manager, the client would be disappointed to hear that the CRM could not do everything that Sales/Implementations had promised. The reporting functionality was tedious, outdated and created a lot of manual 'excel magic' for anyone trying to find simple data to suite the clients requests. The CTO is also a moron. I left this company because I did not believe in their internal CRM, the lack of values, and overall frustration of the disorganized company. And finally, I was promoted to a senior position and it took 6 months for the executive team and internal payroll processor to give me a raise. And no, I did not receive backpay for my additional 6 months of work.

Cons

Work-life balance, lack of culture, toxic environment

Thank you for sharing your feedback. For a company that moves as fast as we do, there are bound to be some challenges along the way, as you mentioned. But we know we would not be where we are, or as successful as we are, without our amazing team members across the US and Canada. We understand how difficult it can be to have a manager or senior leader exit the company when you are just getting started. That must have been very confusing and upsetting for you. Definitely not an experience you were expecting when starting a new position. Upholding company values, improving company culture, and setting a positive example for employees is an area most companies view as a continuous growth opportunity—there are always ways we can do better. We are sorry your time with us was cut short, but we definitely value your feedback and wish you the best in your future career endeavors. If you have any additional suggestions or would like to discuss any of these points further, please do not hesitate to reach back out to our internal HR team. Best of luck!

Pros

Great opportunity. They’re seeing large scale organic and growth through M&A leading to more open leadership positions. Great new facilities and office culture (they do require on site work). Great onboarding and training for new hires. I’ve worked with some of the best leaders and saw many move on to better opportunities in the company and with others.

Cons

A lot of changes through org restructuring as they grow quickly.

Pros

Worked with some great people

Cons

One of the biggest cons is the monitoring software, activtrak. every single thing you do on your laptop is recorded. If I wanted to see what one of my employees was doing on a random Wednesday 3 months ago, I could look up the recording of their screen and see everything. Worse, the system is full of bugs and a few times I could see random employees’ screens who I have never met… you’d think that would be a compliance nightmare for a company that runs payroll. They are a “proud work-from-office company,” but they will put you on a PIP if you’re not putting the requisite 7 hours of productive screen time in every single day, so you essentially get penalized for collaboration. Also terrible, over the 5ish years I was at the company, there were reductions in force to improve company profits, but they could still manage to throw their annual $1M+ sales meeting that seemingly only served the purpose of getting their giant sales org together to get hammered in a fun location for a business week. I could go on and on, but the last thing I’ll mention is the nepotism. If you’re in the C-suite, you probably have a kid who is climbing the ranks fast and doing an awful job all the way to the top. They’re also probably the ones leaving all of the 5 star reviews on this platform.
