Pros

I love my job! I really do. I thought I would be an ADP'er for life. An extra incentive has been the benefits.

Cons

This company, like many other large corporations, is only interested in the bottom line. They have been laying off thousands of seasoned Talent the last few years in order to please stockholders. Anyone who was grandfathered in with a Pension, better be looking elsewhere. It is impossible to predict your last day. Most of our Senior Leadership Team has sought opportunity elsewhere or more recently, laid off. The Customer Service Dept at the Fort Collins location has high attrition and clients are on hold for unreasonable periods of time. A large portion of IT positions were let go last year and our stealthy Finance department has been completely eliminated and outsourced to Manila. Many others moved on for better opportunities. This company does not value their employees and morale is at it's lowest. The Fort Collins location will most likely close in a few year and sell the property. ADP's intention is to operate only at Center of Excellence sites: Maitland, FL, El Paso, TX, Tempe, AZ, Norfolk, VA and Alpharetta, GA. I do not recommend working for this company.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
