ADP Reviews

Pros

Good work - life balance

Cons

Aggressive "year over year" sales objectives.

Pros

ADP has the most extensive training process that I have ever encountered, which really helps in gaining confidence in a sales industry. The management and coworkers are all very easy to get along with which makes all the difference in work environment.

Cons

Location of the office can be tricky depending on where you live.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to engage employees and highlight successes. Continue with periodic incentives and giveaways, it really helps to boost morale and push results.

Pros

management is great. Company cares about its employees.

Cons

promotions are slow, and increases in salary are slower than if you were an outside candidate.

Pros

The benefits, perks, training and resources available to succeed are 2nd to none. The sales managers are highly skilled and supportive. There are many oportunites to advance either within your business unit or into other areas of the company, including international. The bottomline is if you work hard, you will succeed and be rewarded.

Cons

High pressure, quota driven sales culture creates high turnover. There are mutliple business units calling into your accounts which can create confusion for prospects who don't know the difference. The company has the most capabilities of any in this industry, yet they have a huge branding problem being known as "the payroll company". Let the world know what we do!

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on sales numbers more than activity numbers. There are so many metrics being evaluated it sometimes seems like a job just making sure you have all your activity documented for reports to be run. We are here to sell, make it as easy as possible.

Pros

Great opportunity to make a real impact on your cients business. Great opportunity to make a great income. the training is the best I have ever experienced.

Cons

The medical package isn't the best but with the other perks and compensation it's not that big of an issue. There is a lot of flexibility in how you do your job and you truly get to run your territory.

Advice to Senior Management

Great training and motivation provides great results from top sales professionals. The incentives to deliver on results and a close eye on the competition help us remain competitive.

Pros

ADP sets you up for success through training, internal resources, partners, wide variety of market leading solutions and name brand recognition.

Leadership trusts their employees and gives them the independence all sales professionals crave but are always there to support you and will go to bat for you.

Compensation is great for successful sale professionals.

Energetic company culture for motivate individuals.

Cons

Leads are not feed to sales. You need to be comfortable creating your own opportunities.

Lack of communication between divisions can lead to infighting.

Pros

ADP offers its employees the ability to grow with the company which means it's never boring. The training is second to none too. Great benefits, great products and services that we're selling and supporting - I'm proud to work for the leader in this industry!

Cons

Downsides - it's challenging to work for a very large organization, because change doesn't happen as quickly as in smaller companies. While our total compensation structure is competitive in the marketplace, it would be nice to have a more aggressive base salary.

Pros

Great benefits, patient trainers, opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them to grow, supportive environment, those who are determined get a chance to move up.

Cons

Stupid rule of tiered raises and staying in a position for a number of months before being promoted or applying for something else. Just realized that the position I left is now posted for almost ten thousand more than what I was making when I left. Reason being I came from within rather than a brand new employee. Think very hard about this point when applying. Bottomline is you get paid MORE valued MORE when you have LESS years with the company. Does that make sense to you? With that being said, I still won't ever go back to the Payroll Consultant because it constantly puts you on a leash (you lose adherence percentage when stepping away to go to the bathroom). I would however love to go back to ADP but this time I won't be underpaid!

Advice to Senior Management

If someone is great at their job, allow them to move up within ADP. Not say no to applying for another position and lose them to another company. If ADP had allowed me to post to another position, I would not have left after having 26 weeks of training invested in me.

Pros

Industry Leader
Financial Stability
Visionary Company
Advancement Opportunity
Fast Paced

Cons

Salary
Competitive
Red Tape
Client Service
