Pros

Great benefits, company has average amount of potential. Focused on growth.

Cons

Talented people have no room to move up. Career progression is virtually non-existent. Younger generations are used and not respected. Incompetent people are promoted to manager and specialist positions and then management wonders why clients are upset that service cannot understand their business. Change is not communicated effectively - rumors are spread and employees are told by upper management to keep it quiet until news comes out.

Advice to Senior Management

Look at those underneath you - I reflect the sentiment of the other review posted. There is a lot of talent that they will lose to competitors because they do not respect their people and do not pay them what they are worth - not to mention they do not give talented people any room to grow and move in the company.

Pros

Like working for the government you can work a long time no matter what how well you perform.

Cons

Politics is rampant among first and second level managers. Real business problems (affecting clients) are not addressed. Some poor performance is legendary - but no one does anything about it!

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the underlings. They'll tell you about poor managers getting away with lack of leadership, management and motivation. Conduct 360 feedback assessments on all managers. Address the real problems in service that are short-changing client satisfaction.

Pros

The base pay is better than most and the benefits are very comprehensive. You have the opportunity to proudly say that you work for a big billion dollar company. The offices are in a nice location and they pay for your parking.

Cons

Opportunities for professional growth and advancement limited. Management and leadership is very poor, and you will be expected to work all the time, including weekends and especially evenings trying to build your business, their business. Time off is something that sales staff does not get and work life balance, what's that? Respect from management to employee is not reciprocal, managers are higher ranked than you and will remind you of that regularly. Expect micromanagement at the ultimate level and to work very, very hard without praise and reward. Be careful if you have a family, spouse or a life, I don't remember my life before this job.

Advice to Senior Management

Lead by example. Help your sales reps and steer away from politics. Also, stand up for your team once in a while.

Pros

Lots of time off, good benefits

Cons

Too conservitive, a leader in the PEO space, but it won't be for too many more years. Unwilling to make the investment necessary to become a large professional company. Management is very haphazard and entrepenuriel - which equates to no long-term strategy and poor communication across business units. Very siloed.

Advice to Senior Management

Look long-term and be willing to make bold moves to beat ADP and Paychex. Make the investment in technology that is necessary to become an HRO leader for the next 10 years. Also, stop buying software companies - service is your core competency and not software development.

Pros

Services I am proud to associate with my name, quality of my co-wokers professionalism, the quality of the work enviornment, the type of work I do. I am able to apply my 22 years of Human Resources/Business experience in effective support of small businesses; we give them an experienced HR support staff, from the time they sign on as an Administaff Client, that creates a competative edge in their marketplace.

Cons

Pay is only average. Really, that is all.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep being insistent on quality work being produced for our Clients, innovative Client support, and keeping walking the talk when you say "every employee counts".

Pros

Generous benefits including substantial PTO and 401(k) matching. The company is interested in employees and their family's well-being. Very interested in employee's personal and professional education. Team based environment with substantial support from management. The company sponsors a variety of contests aimed at engaging employees and keeping them interested in the company, their jobs and their co-workers. They have everything from "brand" contests to our own "Admini-loser" weight loss contest.

The company is very volunteer-oriented and provides time off each month to volunteer and will match contributions of charitable donations.

Cons

Very focused on metrics, which isn't all bad. Unfortunately some of the metrics are misleading and teams are held responsible for concerns out of their control.

You must "drink the Kool-Aid" - and all the food they feed you consists of carbs.

Advice to Senior Management

Revamp the way the teams are rated when they have no influence on the situation. Otherwise, things are wonderful - don't change anything!

Pros

Management recognizes the employees, it's a fun place to work, the people are great, wonderful benefits.

Cons

None that I can think of. It's all great!!

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the great work!
