Pros

Has the resources available to make changes to the technology. Offers robust product solutions, competitive with other PEO's.

Cons

Grew sales force too fast without the internal management support for training reps at the local level. Sales did not equal promised payouts. most of my opportunities were turned away or lost in implementation. Poor management from the top all the way down.
