Pros

-The company is essentially half payroll company, half software company. On the one side, you get the peaks and valleys nature of the payroll business. On the other hand, the environment is real laid back and you are not micro-managed as long as you are sufficiently getting your work done. -There is much room for professional growth and many skills to be learned if you have the drive -Game room in the building

Cons

-Cross-department communication can be very frustrating as the company works through its growing pains -Some might prefer a more professional atmosphere -Anybody who has worked at a payroll company knows year-end is hell. Expect to work like a dog from November - February

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
