Pros

Known in Hawai'i and has a solid product. The mission of the company is there, and ultimately they do help small and medium sized businesses. Good health insurance because of the nature of the service. Some people are rockstars and have a heart of gold.

Cons

Shady leadership, overworked staff, and a "culture" that forces people to work tirelessly for "Pro First". Shame for providing HR services and having such a toxic culture! There are a few executives that have "rumors" about them, and trust me they are true. When a leader comes into a new team and says "please don't believe the rumors about my 20 years here", you know its true.

Mahalo for your comments and review. We appreciate the positive aspects about ProService that you call out - having a solid product, our mission to deliver the best local services to businesses of Hawaii, the benefits we provide our employees and the many high performing individuals we have throughout the company. Like most businesses of Hawaii, we had staffing and recruiting obstacles during the past two year pandemic, however, with a limited recruiting team, we were able to double the number of people hired in 2021 compared to 2020 to meet the staffing needs we have so we can continue to be responsive and serve our clients. ProFirst is one of our Core Values and it is about doing the right thing, knowing our goals and where we can each make a difference, giving it our all and not walking past problems. It is how we are able to serve our clients and employees to the best of our ability. Lastly, part of being ProFirst is speaking up and offering to help and provide suggestions when something isn't right. If you feel something isn't right, we encourage you to speak to your manager or your internal HR team to help make our company even better.

Pros

- Supportive co-workers that you can feel comfortable bonding with - Free food on many occasions - sometimes you don't even expect it - Great benefits, including generous PTO - sometimes you can even earn PTO based on incentive or a certain situation the company goes through - Good culture with reasonable core values to hold yourself accountable to your job - Small wins are celebrated quite a lot within teams and you can get bragged about by your peers when you do something no one thought they would ever need but turns out to be very helpful - Not sure if every team does this, but the team I work with is working with an entrepreneurial model where we have a bit more freedom to make decisions for ourselves - Although overtime is a norm, at least most managers will care enough about your life situations. Part of the company policy is to take at least one full week off, which I strongly agree with. - There are different Slack channels about different kinds of interests outside of work like memes, anime, cars, and even a channel dedicated to babies and pets. There's also a general channel for anything outside of work.

Cons

- Some things we do can be perceived as "cultish", so my comment about good culture is in reality a double-edged sword...it gets pretty cringe sometimes - Pay isn't great for the amount of effort workers put in (especially more notable for my salaried coworkers who work overtime on the regular - can feel a trap once that promotion from hourly hits) - Pressure to do certain things from executive leadership (they say you don't have to, but they really can get you to do it with enough pressure) - Hypocrisy from management (be wary of those who abuse the core values) - High turnover rate - many have been quitting lately and executive leadership hasn't been very stable - Related to the high turnover rate, it gets real crazy when the company is understaffed somewhere - Growth opportunities aren't "abundant" - strategic and calculated calls that seem bold and unusual on the outside seem to be more favored to gain that kind of attention - We're always forced to adapt to new things constantly - most notably unstable processes and sudden organizational changes

Pros

Management does try to make Proservice fun, but it seems almost cult like at times with the huge emphasis on the companies values. There are free breakfasts on Friday as well as casual Friday so thats pretty nice!

Cons

Very disorganized environment, I feel like they hire and plan the organizations needs very poorly. Employees seem to just be shifted around into positions and tasks that they didn't sign up for (which is fine but this should be emphasized during the interview process). Also, pay is poor even for Hawaii.
