      Pros

      Well compensated and overall a nice culture.

      Cons

      Imbalanced teams, some are very busy and some are not. Weird mix of old school and newer tech when it comes to leadership as well as boots on the ground employees. Slow moving on the corporate side

      Start Up Energy; Toxic Positivity; Lack of Leadership

      Pros

      Salary is ok, and you get benefits that average. If you're trying to get into HCM Tech space it may be a good start. There are definitely people in the company who want to see you succeed and will help you learn tricks of the trade.

      Cons

      A serious lack of leadership. Onboarding experience was awful. The company is not coordinated well internally. You won't have management support, and will often receive conflicting information or passive aggressive pushback. There is also a severe lack of resources; the CRM technology is poorly designed, you're expected to spend a lot and expense out of pocket (printing collateral, food drops, lunches, etc), and they refuse to have a team office to help foster growth amongst the team. They also push you to work on weekends. The company culture is what they praise, although a lot of it is toxic corporate positivity. It has a strong "start-up" vibe and what you are told in the interviews is not the reality of the role. The training is low level and not very applicable to your role. There is no focus on personalization of growth or development, which is further exacerbated by inexperienced leadership.
