Pros

Name, tenure in the industry, product offering

Cons

Comp plan won't be provided right away, but you are held to quota the moment you walk in the door, regardless if you have an assigned territory or not. You will be dialing for dollars. Many customer says the platform is clunky and outdated. Anything will be done to get a deal closed, no matter if it leaves you with nothing to earn an income. Very limited inbound leads (you'd think there would be a ton due to the name alone).

Pros

*great place to learn the ropes of HCM *Good training *Decent technology

Cons

*Biggest thing is over the past 3 years they have moved away from focusing on their employees and people first. The culture is no longer a collaborative and positive setting. *Career growth is limited (discouraged internally from moving to different depts) *Base and commission are on lower end for industry *Disconnect between upper management and field level *For management there are pretty large discrepancies in quota assignment *No visioion for SMB division - might be different in other areas
