      Cons

      You get what you pay for.

      Advice to Management

      Give the sales reps more tools for success. Throwing them into a cold market is tough and not always the right thing to do.

      Pros

      My Manager is amazing. Would never be able to find this type of relationship with a manager anywhere else.

      Cons

      Lack of communication between different departments primarily related to projects. Lack of initiative and taking responsibility across the board.

      Advice to Management

      Take some time to listen to the people directly in the field selling the products and services prior to rolling out new sales tools. Also, do better at assigning project leaders to ensure that things get completed and completed well.

      Pros

      They hired me after 2 months of interviews then after 4 months of making friends and quality work was laid off...for not meeting deadlines???

      Cons

      They are very Top Heavy and alot of turnovers..10 in my department in 4 months. Management is a joke...a complete overhaul is needed. HR is a mess.

      I worked at BenefitMall full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      There were like 3 nice people there...

      Cons

      During my few years with this company, I met some of the rudest, most cold-hearted people that I have ever come across in my life. I was a very hard working employee who held three different positions within this company. I learned that the harder you work, the more management will abuse you as an employee.

      Management will give the hardest workers a higher work load, while letting the weaker links on the team float along with little to no work at all. How is it okay to stress out someone who tries to do a good job, and "reward" the ones who don't even try.

      Employees would sleep at their desks, take prescription pain pills in the office that would make them incoherent, and then they would go on to handle thousands and thousands of dollars worth of payroll for large companies across the US. Why would HR not step in and do something about this? No wonder clients call in so often about issues with their payroll.

      Management also thought it was okay to threathen your job if you were not able to work overtime, even though there was NO mandatory overtime mentioned. The managers even went so far as to yell at employees in front of the entire office, even when those particular employees were not being rude or disrespectful in any way to their manager and did not deserve that treatment.

      Also, managers would be put into a leadership role without knowing all of the payroll platforms that they were managing. How can they be in charge of a team full of people and have NO IDEA what their team is supposed to be doing? I myself, and other team members as well, had to train our own manager on how to work the systems.

      This place drove me, and many others, to take anxiety meds and anti-depressants. The amount of breakdowns these employees had at work is unbelievable, but not as unbelievable as HR not doing anything to better the environment.

      Advice to Management

      Get managers that actually know how to manage a team. Try to intimidate your workers a little less and care a little more about their mental state. Have Human Resources respond to emails in a timely manner when serious issues are sent to them, rather than taking a week or more to even respond.

      Pros

      Big Company moves with change like a Small company is refreshing coming. Approvals for items are almost the small hour they are requested. Constant investment in to process, people, and product. Great Compensation Plan that rewards performance, simple to understand, and a stable distribution channel. Best I've seen in the Payroll industry. Big Sales Territories with training tools available internally and via manager.

      Cons

      Not as big as ADP or Paychex, so name recognition is not as strong.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to be aggressive towards growth of the Payroll Division.
