Pros

The position is part of a unit which makes working as a team that much easier. Lots of decision making abilities if you like taking the lead. Working as part of a unit allows you to learn and understand everyone's job (i.e., Risk, Payroll, HR).

Cons

The company strives on increasing the amount of businesses they partner with. This tends to make it more difficult for each business unit to service their clients efficiently and accurately. You have to be able to keep up with the fast-pace the sales force moves at! It can be done; however, when too many processes are created and not everyone follows the same process (such as each business unit); it can cause chaos.

Pros

This is a work environment that encourages and rewards self starters. Each branch is run not unlike a franchise; your team's performance is directly reflected on the bottom line of the Branch's P&L which then translates to profit sharing potential. I have read all the negative posts before me and I will tell you these were predominately individuals who need constant supervision and a different environment. It doesn't make them bad people, just the wrong fit for this organization. If you're smart & talented, like a challenge, autonomy and are a self starter, then I highly recommend you consider a career with BBSI.

Cons

I wish I would have joined sooner!
