Some nice people but a few bad apples spoil the place

Pros

Good location, easy to get to. Good place to gain experience and get to know the payroll industry. Perfect for entry level or someone looking to learn the software and processes and HR in general.

Cons

Constant battle between Winipeg head office staff and Toronto based staff. Seems to be to much of a who you know and not how good you are place. Lots of long term employee's that spend more time doing office politic games than helping the company work to become better. Seems if you are talented and do a great job you leave. If your into backstabing and office politics as a job this is the place for you. Its amazing how many people in Ceridian have been in the same job/position for over 10 years in some cases over 15.

The people you work with are great.

Cons

Constantly changing focus and strategy. Very reactionary and not very proactive. Allow clients to fail and yell before management takes action.
