Overworked and Under Appreciated

Business Outlook

Pros

Ceridian has a great benefits package and vacation policy. Additionally, the training they give new employee's is bar none one of the best I have ever seen. There is no job shadowing, which needs to be addressed. But the actual training itself is wonderful.

Cons

Middle management is completely driven by the decisions of upper management and hold little to no power. This causes problems when employees want to see change/improvement. Everything has to go through upper management. Additionally, good resources are overworked and under appreciated. 50-60 hour weeks are normal and are almost expected. There is no clear vision for the future at all. They have been operating off the same payroll software engine for the last 30 years.

Ok, but no room for advancement unless you come from the outside (preferably GE or another pre-Ceridian company).
