Pros

I really love my manager and team. The company culture is great. There really is "limitless" opportunities in commissions and residuals. Product is great and generally considered premier product in the PEO space. Great benefits. $375/month spend card for business expenses.

Cons

I think I got lucky with a great manager and team. I have heard horror stories in other offices, so that is luck of the draw. There are “limitless” opportunities for commissions/residuals but this is a very tough sale and you will find a lot of it is out of you control. Generally we are twice as expensive as our next closest competitor. Corporate doesn’t do much to be competitive on price. Really the only way to make the product less expensive is by taking it out of your own commission/residuals. Company also treats this as if it is a small sales cycle, but in reality it is very long. Corporate barely provides leads and if they do, it goes only to your local senior rep. It almost seems as if their sales strategy is to only feed their senior reps with leads through new sales reps “partnering” with the seniors. It feels a little bit like a pyramid scheme. Upper management is very “what have you done for me lately”, and rarely offer positive feedback when it is warranted.

Pros

Good benefits. Can't think of any other.

Cons

Poor pay, the lowest paying company in the PEO industry. District Managers are awful, the ones I had. Regional Manager is less than supportive and more interested in micromangement. In my office, there is lack of support from District Manager and Regional Manager. I have witnessed first hand in a few areas District managers going on ride alongs, helping BPAs target businesses. It's an HR company that preaches work culture, but does not practice what it preaches. Turnover is higher than they like to admit, due to the nature of the job and appalling pay structure. Wear and tear of personal vehicle- you're not reimbursed mileage, or given vehicle allowance. You get an Amex card with less than $400 monthly, that is meant to cover gas (even with the current has prices), oil change, lunches, networking events. The amount itself is a joke, usually you run out of funds after the first week or 2 of each month and you're formed to use your own funds. Regional manager blamed entire team for people that got laid off, afterwards threatened people's jobs. When investors wanted more money, there were massive layoffs. Some staff were promised roles within the company, but of course they didn't keep their end of the bargain. I was given the most useless RM and DM. When I was hired, my district manager told a few lies and tricked me into accepting the position.
