Pros

The company can do payroll well - it fakes other areas but does payroll really well. Trying to develop new front-end apps.

Cons

The President of NAS does not comprehend the complexities of large clients. He came from Total Source, as did one of his GM's, and they manage by blame, not positive leadership. The decisions in cutting implementation and customer service is causing a decrease in ADP's pride which was client longevity. If a client wants to upgrade to a newer service it takes 16 months BEFORE THEY START because they do not have the resources. Large account service for companies on the Affordable Care Act Service was a disaster because they don't have the service resources since the President laid off all the good implementation and service teams. At the last client conference the ADP personnel working the meeting were beside themselves because the President of NAS lied to the clients saying ADP had a new intuitive Power User front-end. It's not even being developed. The CEO has a real problem with NAS because it's a problem that may not be unwound. Finally, the President of NAS is not a person who anyone can talk to. He yells, throws papers, and is arrogant. He does not treat employees with respect. It's very sad.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
