Pros

Good company. Good product. Had a decent manager with a great team. My goal was to promote out of my entry level department. I followed the advice of my manager, got a mentor in the department I wanted to be in and GRINDED! After a year in my dept I was able to promote into a higher paying role. They do promote from within...IF you don't slack off.

Cons

It's definitely a corporate setting. It's an HR software company so everything is really PC. Just don't be a loud mouth blow hard and you'll be fine. The leadership in my department was disorganized at times (but who isn't. It wasn't the end of the world). The biggest con is the pay. Well below market value. But I stuck it out because I was told they hire from within, which they do. So now I'm in a much higher paying role. I'm glad I stuck it out.

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

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
