ADP reviews

ADP has abandoned its old mantra of employee empowerment. It is now all about "the process" no matter how much unreasonable amount of work, and unproductive work at that, it adds. It has become an old-style, top-down management style company, as it struggles to push salaried people to work as many hours as possible, but still pretending to care about work-life balance. Mid-level managers are regularly caught demanding deliverables at impossible times for no other reason than just to check them of their list - not because anyone else actually needs them. What their demands do to other people is of no concern to them. More and more people are jumping ship without jobs waiting for them. If I don't find a job soon elsewhere, I will be one of them.

If you accept a job negotiate your salary like crazy!! What you start at will most likely be pretty close to what you end at. Unless you are in payroll - there isn't a lot of opportunity to move or advance. Most of the management has been here for 20+ years and they aren't going anywhere any time soon. If you do AMAZING on your yearly evaluation, you get about 3%. If you do average on your yearly review you will get about 3%. If you are lower than that, you'll probably get an improvement plan, or fired. ADP has wonderful people - but they are extremely tight-fisted. Everything is on a scale. Instead of giving local management the power to promote and reward their people, it's all based on scales.
