Pros

At this point, not too much. Work-life balance is the only thing I like about this company.

Cons

- Company kept recruiting Indian devs and testers year over year and now the department is largely Indian. If there is a new hire, there is a 95% chance that s/he will be from India, and soon they will bring in their spouses. IT department needs to seriously consider the current state of diversity within its technical community. It is not uncommon to have to work with people with broken English or heavy accents and more importantly work ethics centered around micromanaging others if the Indians happen to be a team lead / solutions designer. - Development machines are slow. You will find yourself asking help desk to give you more storage, ram, etc. Visual Studio can become a resource hog pretty quickly. Good luck traversing TFS directories. - Insperity pays at least 10-15K less compared to Houston standards. - If you want to get promoted, make sure other teams know you. Popularity is the key. It doesn't matter if you are a better developer than most others. You do not deserve a promotion. - Long meetings because people love to talk! - Useless managers. You will only talk to them once or twice a year. They don't work with you to help you with your career goals. Just do your job and go home. - Snacks are delivered way too late. You will find yourself asking your scrum master multiple times when you'll be getting snacks.

Pros

*Many sales tools and training provided throughout tenure. *Local management does a great job of taking care of their people and being servant leaders. No one is too busy to talk to you and give advice or guidance. *Unmatched referral program with good sized budget to build relationships and earn prospective business *Attitudes stay professional no matter what and issues are resolved as soon as possible. *Managers are understanding of the ups and downs of sales and will work with their reps to help get them back on track *No pointing fingers, just getting the job done, no matter what the case. *Internal teams have great communication and follow up/through. *Knowledge is openly shared throughout the organization.

Cons

*Salary is a bit on the low end. High stress in trying to meet metrics - even if a sale happens because the length of the sales cycle is so varied that you can't predict when you'll get your next win. (The job is a grind.) *60% of all new business wins come between September and December, making it the most stressful time of the year. *Tenured reps are treated differently and get more sales support such as someone who will do follow up calls and set appointments as well as doing the paperwork for a new prospect to get approved for the PEO model and pricing. *Residuals take 2-3 years to build up to anything significant. *Management will ask you to lower your enrollment fee on a deal to win the business which directly affects your commission. *Insperity takes a percentage of the enrollment fee so if you lower the fee to earn the business, Insperity still gets their cut of the ORIGINAL enrollment fee, making your commission even lower.

Pros

The culture at Insperity is second to none. Very strong PEO service and marketing & service support. Strong income potential for someone who is willing to invest 5+ years building residuals.

Cons

The base salary for the role is below industry norms. While the actual PEO services are world class, the services come at a high premium vs competitors. Because of the lower salaries, many of the BPA's leave for higher salaries.
