Pros

The employee benefits are decent. It seems that in areas outside of Major Accounts Benefits Administration, training is provided, expectations are set, and processes are outlined.

Cons

This review pertains to Major Accounts Benefits Administration Services only. Service Concerns - Only minimal training is provided, if any. There are many manual processes required for servicing clients, but very few of the processes are documented, resulting in numerous errors. Management seems oblivious to the client issues, although client retention rates and customer service surveys indicate a major problem. Promotions - It is unclear how to get promoted within Major Accounts Benefits Administration Services. While there are some promotions happening, Management doesn't seem willing to guide or provide direction to associates for promotions. When promotions happen, other associates are usually left scratching their heads, trying to understand. Posting for Jobs Outside of Major Accounts Benefit Administration Services - During my time in this organization, I have seen very few people successfully move from M A - B A S to another organization within ADP. It is unclear if other areas are not interested in B A S employees or if current B A S Management is standing in the way.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
