Pros

Friendly onboarding experience The company mission to support local businesses in Hawaii sounds meaningful Some genuinely skilled teammates who care about doing things the right way

Cons

The Migration Consultant role was always intended to be phased out, but this was never communicated clearly. Instead of a structured transition, leadership initiated sudden "performance reviews" to justify exits The department operated without proper SOPs, documentation, or direction — yet employees were later penalized for outcomes in this chaotic environment Feedback is discouraged. Speaking up about inefficiencies or inconsistencies is seen as a threat rather than a contribution Leadership prioritizes self-preservation over team integrity. Managers routinely shift blame onto employees and avoid accountability The workplace culture turned toxic as migration wrapped up — investigations were used to retroactively build cases against team members who voiced concerns Instead of working with employees to fix problems, leadership often resorted to pressure and intimidation

Pros

-Competitive compensation relative to similar roles -Parental leave exists and can be strong if tenure requirements are met, though the structure has limitations -Exposure to payroll operations and client-facing experience -Opportunity to develop skills in managing multiple priorities and client communication

Cons

-The company promotes a “ProHana” (work family) culture, but this is not consistently reflected in practice—especially for fully remote employees, who often feel disconnected and not treated as part of the organization -Parental leave is structured in a way that limits accessibility: --Full pay requires longer tenure --Partial pay for shorter-tenure employees --Many return early (6–8 weeks) due to financial constraints --Full paid leave eligibility is limited to every other year -Training does not match job expectations: --Formal training is limited or inconsistently accessible --Key areas (onboarding, terminations, benefits, retirement, workers’ comp, PTO, GL setup) are not fully covered --Employees are often expected to self-learn or escalate rather than understand processes -The role requires broad cross-department knowledge to meet “first call resolution” expectations, but without sufficient training to support that expectation -No clear, stable job description — performance is based on a “scorecard” with KPIs that: --Change frequently (often quarterly) --Sometimes extend beyond core job responsibilities --Can be applied inconsistently -Work is highly dependent on multiple departments, which slows turnaround time; however, Payroll is still held accountable for outcomes -Workloads are not balanced for coverage: --Employees manage full workloads --Expected to cover for others on PTO/sick leave --Makes it difficult to fully complete responsibilities -Client management expectations lack leadership support: --Employees are expected to handle difficult client conversations --Limited active involvement from management to reinforce boundaries --Support is often informal rather than action-oriented -Gaps in HR policy knowledge within the departments can create risk for employees who rely solely on internal guidance -Leadership structure is heavily layered, with many managers promoted internally without formal training, leading to inconsistency and micromanagement

Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. Feedback like this — specific, constructive, and clearly rooted in wanting better — is exactly what helps us grow. The concerns you've raised touch on several areas we're actively focused on: ensuring our training programs reflect the full scope of what our roles require, building more stability and consistency into performance expectations, improving cross-department coordination, and making sure our ProHana culture is something remote employees experience meaningfully — not just see in our branding. We also hear your feedback on leadership development and the importance of formal training for managers and supervisors. Building strong, consistent leadership is foundational to everything else we're trying to improve. We take seriously the responsibility to ensure our people are supported, equipped, and treated fairly at every level of the organization. We encourage you to reach out to our People Team directly if there are specific matters you'd like reviewed. We're grateful for your honesty and for your continued dedication to this work.
