Insperity Reviews

Cons

Pay is on the low side and they don't have many company paid holidays. PTO is OK.

Cons

Too many layers of senior leadership in Middle Market in ratio to the number of employees and varying degree of positions. Too many people have to be brought in to solve problems.

Cons

Your experience will depend on your manager. Most of the managers are fabulous

Cons

I have nothing bad to say

Cons

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, dynamic environment, look elsewhere. The overwhelming attitude at Insperity is complacency. Everyone is just putting in their time until retirement.

Pay rates are laughable, partly because the health insurance is heavily subsidized by the company, and partly because, in IT at least, the company sponsors endless numbers of candidates from abroad who will work for very little money. You will be given a “total compensation” number that seems really good, but future employers will completely disregard it for all but executive-level job candidates.

Expect to spend entire days in meetings, even if you’re not a manager. Meetings are the lifeblood of Insperity.

Forced socialization is a way of life here. If you don’t participate gleefully in "fun" office events, you will be labeled a troublemaker. Insperity is NOT an introvert-friendly environment, even in software development.

Beware the workplace surveys. They show up in your email several times per year. While they are supposedly anonymous, each employee is given a unique hyperlink. Detailed questions make it very easy for your manager to identify your survey. Employees learn quickly that negative reviews will likely result in retribution.

There are two sets of rules here: one for management, and one for everyone else. For example, more consideration is given to whether job candidates could be the manager’s best friends than to their qualifications or work experience. Favoritism determines who gets to work on the best projects, rather than skill with the product in question. Incidentally, manager-level employees are not usually internal hires, which further solidifies the us vs them mentality.

A member of management informed me recently that someone at the company left a bad review on Glassdoor, and upper management harangued Glassdoor to find out who the employee was [which Glassdoor didn’t do, thankfully]. I am not surprised. In fact, I imagine they might try it again, based on this review.

Cons

Compensation is on the low side....especially for California.

Cons

Sales activity must be consistent even during slower seasons

Cons

In its current state the Equality of Managerial Ethics of the treatment of minority employees of color is questionable .
Most employees there are very genuine but then there are a handful of individuals that let their insecurities lead to meetings behind closed doors with likeminded management and or employees.

Cons

Cost are high for what you actually get,

Cons

Its not a highly recognized name, so it is very difficult to sell the service. Long sales cycle.
