What people are saying about ADP

Sales

works at 

ADP

Currently at ADP, been here for 4 years, degree in Pre-Med Biology. Have both Inside and Outside Sales experience partnering with CPA firms/current clients/prospects for about 4 years and starting a new channel with DEI Organizations/Networking Groups for B2B. ADP has a great comp plan but my base is 48K and even with the commission I feel like I’m getting taken advantage of/not getting what I’m worth. After 4 years, I feel it’s time to move on. Any advice or thoughts on this?

        Pros

        Great company culture. Room for growth. If you work hard, you will reap the benefits of your hard work. We do an employee survey every year and we hear the results and are involved with improvements. Great pay as well. I love working for the leader in the industry.

        Cons

        Work life balance can sometimes be a challenge but most jobs I've been in....it's no different. You have to make it work.

          Pros

          Corporate American Company, good name to have on resume, fun team events, decent salary, great healthcare coverage, 401k and stock options.

          Cons

          Realize in sales you are just a number to the corporation. ADP is old company and not as flexible as startups and smaller companies. I did not have a good work life balance (but this all depends on the manager you have). All perks come with strings attached. Disgusting building in a bad part of Sacramento with old desks. I had to clean my desk my first day. Most employees are looking for jobs after year one at ADP; high turnover of sales employees. Half of service team was let go and their jobs outsourced to India while I was there. Biggest complaint is that my customers weren't happy with the product after I sold it to them and that I couldn't help customers with the problems they had.

            Pros

            They take care of and look out for their employees. Fairly good benefits and you can roll over 40 hours of PTO per year. Members of your team are always there to help and have your back. Your teammates want you to succeed.

            Cons

            Very underpaid for the work you do. So many team members and others company-wide leaving to accept similar positions at rival companies for much higher pay. People that leave aren't replaced and you're expected to pick up the slack with has led to extreme burnout and stress among employees. Interacting with other departments and needing things from them is too political and almost impossible to get anything done without a manager or director stepping in to escalate. You'll spend half your days in meetings and unable to get your work done and then your manager will ask why your work isn't done. Work/life balance isn't great and it's not unusual to have to work past end of shift.

              I wish they would allow more people to work from home, I am lucky enough to be able to but many aren't. It allows me awesome work/life balance and saves me from a 45 min+ commute each way!

                      Great company culture, they take care of their employees and I feel like they have their employees best interest in mind, mostly everybody that I came across in the company was a pleasure to work with

                      Cons

                      Day to day of the job can be grueling and very stressful. They expect a lot of your time so the work life balance wasn't great.

                        Cons

                        There is no work life blance and you can't think even for your family if you join ADP . There will be so much of pressure in every project. There will be lot of politics in teams and manager. if you are a new employee even if you work for hard you don't get good rating all the rating and promotion and good hick for old people only not for newly joined people so please think of it when ever your ready to join.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
