Pros

Used to have great culture, great place to work, work/life balance was fantastic. Company was amazing with Steve at the helm. Has drastically fallen since Tobey took over. Company formerly remote, until end of May when the Paychex D team came in and decided we needed to be more like them. Declared most everyone within a 50 mile radius needed to report to an office 5 days a week.

Cons

Tobey actively trying to kill the great culture and environment that was built by Steve. Several new directors and senior managers came from Paychex and are implementing those values here. Not a ton of opportunity to advance. Pay is decent to start, but annual merit is minimal.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
