Advice to Senior Management

Keep what they are doing now

Pros

good compensation, ability to earn, good benefits, decent product

Cons

Could have been a great company. However, the pressure to satisfy Wall St. projections each quarter lead to management taking on bad risks (ultimately lead to financial insolvency), service teams being spread to thin (ultimately lead to high client and employee attrition rates), lack of sales direction (ridiculously high turnover at sales position). Very top down management style, would hire people with no experience and expect them to meet unrealistic quotas immediately. Disconnect between sales and service teams lead to a demoralized service team with too much work for their pay grade, ultimately the clients suffered.

Advice to Senior Management

Link sales and regional magement compensation closely with client retention or bad decisions will continue to be made, hire more service people or pay them more because retention is the name of the game in PEO.

Pros

Dedicated staff and middle management.

Cons

Lack of corporate vision and resulting inability to execute.

Advice to Senior Management

Show strong leadership and match the commitment to excellence exhibited by your staff.

schism between long-timers and new folks bringing new ideas and practices

Advice to Senior Management

stop churning through BDM's (sales staff) at such a ridiculous rate

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to field employees

Advice to Senior Management
