Pros

The solution is better than most competitive solutions and that has its merits. The CEO is smart and the best thing going there. If he ever leaves, that could be a problem for shareholders.

Cons

Specifically in sales, this is a company made up of mostly prior Paychex employees. They tend to back each other up and give the short end of the stick to everyone else. However, they are quite clueless to this fact and seem to be self absorbed on company culture propaganda. They also have a consistent theme of making promises they can't deliver and over stepping their boundaries to the point of ethical behavior which is oddly supported by management. They are also growing sales faster than service can keep up with. This will result in worse retention in years ahead.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
