Really happy that I chose ZenPayroll

Pros

Incredible company culture and family atmosphere. Amazing leadership team - very transparent and trusting of their employees. I really feel valued here and there is a sense that I'm actively contributing to the success of the company. ZenPayroll has a solid product-market fit and I'm proud to be a part of the team.

Cons

Our inbound interest is huge, and it can be difficult to keep us with the customer interest level - this is definitely a positive problem though. Training and new employee onboarding process could be improved.

Pros

Awesome culture. Everyone is extremely smart and motivated to accomplish our goals. There is a unique atmosphere where everyone truly cares about one another as a person rather than just a coworker. I have worked at many other well known companies but there truly is a special vibe in our office unlike any other. You get a fair amount of autonomy but also have sufficient resources available to help you out when needed. If you are looking for a place where you can truly be YOU and best leverage your own unique skills, ZenPayroll is the place to be!

Cons

We get lunch and dinner catered everyday. Ya, not too much of a con other than that we are often inside most of the day simply out of convenience. I have made a conscious effort lately to go on mid day walks to no longer have to deal with this issue. :)

Not your average start-up. Real vision and dedication to building a company for the long-term.

Pros

When someone says to you "our co-workers are our family", this is often a load of crap. ZenPayroll really is. One co-worker helped me move. I've gone to movies and concerts with others. We've done team outings that are really team vacations. We accept each other for who we are as people. Flaws, attributes, and all. Just like you do with your family. The founders tell us that we're building this as a company to last. And this mentality permeates every decision we make. Answers aren't made up on the fly. Everything down to the seemingly smallest decisions have some concrete and methodical rationale.

Cons

Just like any other start-up, there's an expectation that you need to move fast, be brilliant, and be on your A+ game. That's the case here. There's no room for slackers or people that want to coast on the coattails of a successful start-up. This might mean some occasional late nights or weekend work, but believe me it's all worth it. The stakes involved are high, but the reward and achievement is all worth it. With all of this, though, I often feel like I'm doing the best work of my life.
