Pros

Good health benefits. You will get paid on time. You can eat lunch. Christmas and Thanksgiving are holidays. They have water fountains in the office.

Cons

Terrible leadership. Micromanaging to the max. Toxic environment, the worst I have ever witnessed. If you speak up you will be on your way out. They treat employees with no respect. They have an executive elevator, seriously you're not allowed on it. In training they basically tell you that you will quit within 6 months. My entire office has less than 2 years with the company. Terrible to current client's, I was told not to worry about the problems they have because you can't get any revenue out of it. I could go on and on, they lie to get you in and pull all kinds of bs once you start. I have been successful throughout my career, this place is starting to ruin my existing book of business. My advice to anyone who has sales experience, stay where you are or go work two jobs and find something better than this dump. I have already wasted enough time on this, I need to get more resumes out.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
