Pros

HR Works has navigated a pandemic in a way that has made me, a working parent that at one point had to homeschool two young children, feel both valued and supported. At no point in the last two years have I felt that I needed to choose my job over my family. At no point have I felt more confident in my decision to move to and stay with HR Works. As an employee for almost 8 years, I've seen a lot of change and growth- we've navigated it well and continue to focus on our values. I'm also thankful for the growth opportunities I've been provided. I've worked hard and feel that I've been rewarded for those efforts. The best thing about HR Works is our people. I enjoy not only what I do, but the people I do it with; I am proud to be surrounded by HR professionals; it's really such a different experience! The leadership team is open to suggestions and is working on a number of initiatives to help continue to enhance the employee experience at HR Works, which I appreciate. The CEO is amazing and is not only an inspiration, he's a genuinely good and supportive leader. The future is truly bright and I'm happy to be a part of it! I can say I am very excited about the direction we're moving.

Cons

Nothing that I can think of.

Pros

Small-medium sized business with great growth potential. Excellent leadership that genuinely cares about the people in the organization. HR Works attracts and retains the most genuine, supportive people. Your co-workers quickly become your friends!

Cons

Being a smaller business, the salaries and benefits may not be equal to larger organizations but if you’re looking for a place where you can truly learn, grow and make a difference, then HR Works is the place for you! This company does a great job taking care of its employees and rewarding hard work and dedication.

The Most TOXIC Job You'll Ever Have

Pros

Some of your coworkers might know what they're doing, but good luck getting them to do their fair share of the workload.

Cons

The workload in all departments is obscene. Every department needs more workers, but there are THREE owners who want to share in the profits, so you do the math. They also received a fully forgiven PPP loan of over $1 million (it's public information, so do your due diligence), while telling the majority of employees there was no money for annual raises and the few who did receive raises got 1% raises - and told to be thankful for that. You will be pressured to work constant overtime if you're a good worker, but allowed to slack if you're a favorite pet. This is rampant in all departments. You will also be extremely underpaid for the market - $20-30k/year underpaid. Turnover is very, very high especially for a professional organization. Almost all of the senior leadership has been at this company their entire adult careers. Most are completely inept at managing teams and are such micro-managers, they fear any sort of change. If you are a seasoned professional, run. The reputation this company had is diminishing by the day and the company is ripe for asset stripping. If you are a new grad, know this is NOT how most professional companies are actually run and get out as soon as possible. Also make note of my comment above, senior leadership is set. There is little to no room for advancement here. They'll give you a fancy new title, though, no raise, and numerous additional responsibilities. In addition to the pay being sub-standard, the benefits are not competitive and they are very expensive. This company thrives off it's previously good reputation and has been riding those coat tails for a few years now. That ride is going to end soon. Also note, the other reviews here that are positive are generally from senior management or from consultants who work at client sites - not in the HRWorks office.
