Pros

-I met some really great colleagues that are now friends.

Cons

-Incompetent leadership. 3 managers in a 10 month span. -Paychex culture all over again. It’s not who you know it’s how you know them. Hired majority of Paychex leaders in the Rochester area and brought the lovely Paychex culture with them. Lies in the recruitment process. I’m glad to see they are now labeling it as a call center environment. During the recruiting process it was heard from the recruiter, and Director that the role would be 7-10 clients. Minimal queue work. However the role is 20+ clients. In the call queue all day. And god forbid you are a minute late for lunch because you will definitely hear about it! Also word to the wise… Don’t bring anything of value to your desk, management will ship it back broke. Upon getting fired.

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

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.
