      Pros

      Excellent training, great communication for such a large company. Career advancement is part of the culture and is expected and encouraged.

      Cons

      Workloads are heavy and some positions are stressful. Only a con if you don't like fast-paced and lots of change.

      Pros

      Great co-workers at least when we worked together at a center as now we are all remote from home. Good benefits. Steady raises with bonus potential. Training is great and constant better than other places.

      Cons

      Upward mobility seems to be dependent on the hiring manager. Seems a bit political. Too many clients assigned to most payroll specialists too handle. Can give better service if we had 10-15 percent fewer clients assigned. Blackout months from Dec-Feb limit your time off options then. Some mangers micro manage and others are great.

      We just wanted to say thank you for writing your review. The Payroll Specialist role can be demanding at times and you have given us some great things to consider. We definitely want all of our employees to know that their voices are heard and we encourage them to speak to their direct manager or HR about any concerns they have. We believe we offer many great advancement opportunities as a company and with more positions being able to reside in multiple locations the opportunities are growing. Thanks again for the thoughtful words and we wish you success in your career.
