Used to be a great place to work but not anymore

Pros

flexable work schedule; pdo is pretty good

Cons

it's frowned upon when you question how things are going or if you voice your concerns; there is no work life balance; HR department does not take concerns seriously and are slow to handle the situations if they do get involved. The managers need to be trained a little more on how to be leaders.

Ceridian is a great place to work if you don't mind a stagnant career.

Pros

The benefits are great, and the people are nice to be around and to work with. They are flexible with schedules, and fairly accomodating of family/work balance.

Cons

We are evaluated on a bell curve. So many people are expected to be at a level 1 (the worst), and so many at a level 5 (the best), with steps in between. Most people fall at a 3 (meets expectations). If there are only two spots for a 5, and you really worked to get a 5, you may (and probably won't) get a 5 because you can't control how others do their job. There may be others that are doing better. So even if you're putting in 200%. If someone else is putting in 201% they would get the 5 over you, even if you both deserve it.
