Business Performance Advisors and Service Team

Cons

I don’t know why there's been so many bad reviews recently in NY. Honestly, if you enjoy being micromanaged, undervalued, and slowly drained of all professional dignity, this place might be a dream come true. Every morning begins with a meeting that perfectly recreates the atmosphere of elementary school attendance. Nothing says “we trust our employees” quite like being called on to announce you’re present, just so management can confirm you haven’t died overnight. It’s a great way to start the day if your ideal work environment is one where appearances matter more than actual productivity. That same spirit of trust carries through the rest of the day. If your Team's light turns yellow for more than a moment, suddenly it feels like you need to justify your entire existence... where you were, what you were doing, whether you dared step away for five minutes, maybe even whether breathing off-camera was preapproved. It’s nice to know even a bathroom break can feel like the start of an internal investigation. And when it comes to performance, it’s comforting to know hard work isn’t the thing that matters most. Around here, your success and accolades seems to depend less on actual effort or results and more on which little management clique you happen to belong to Work-life balance is another area where they really stand out, mainly because they seem determined to erase the line entirely. Your personal time is treated less like your time and more like an extension of the workday, especially when the expectation is that evenings are still fair game for text messages, emails, and follow-up from your manager. It’s refreshing to see a company stay this committed to burnout as a management style. And for an HR company, they show a pretty remarkable lack of respect for employees’ basic time. Lunch breaks apparently are too luxurious to leave alone, which is why they’re so committed to scheduling mandatory lunch-and-learns. Nothing says “we value our people” quite like turning the one part of the day that’s supposed to belong to employees into yet another required meeting. It’s a nice reminder that even your break is only yours until leadership decides otherwise. One nice perk is that you never really have to learn anyone’s name, because turnover happens so fast. By the time you start recognizing people, they’re already gone. It’s a great system if consistency, stability, and basic retention are things you never cared about anyway. Then there are the meetings, which often double as a kind of motivational punishment. You’ll get to hear long, nostalgic speeches about the “good old days” when everyone was making money, along with regular reminders about how lucky you are to even have a job. Nothing boosts morale quite like being guilt-tripped and patronized in the same breath. Leadership stands out most. They love talking about accountability, right before explaining why every problem somehow belongs to you, all while smiling to your face and quietly stripping deals out of your pipeline without a word. Overall, it’s an excellent place to work if you miss being treated like a child, enjoy performing meaningless routines, and want a front-row seat to what happens when bad management is mistaken for company culture. But at least you’ll have the privilege of working for a company that acts like it just discovered AI this year and can’t wait to let everyone know.

Pros

*Many sales tools and training provided throughout tenure. *Local management does a great job of taking care of their people and being servant leaders. No one is too busy to talk to you and give advice or guidance. *Unmatched referral program with good sized budget to build relationships and earn prospective business *Attitudes stay professional no matter what and issues are resolved as soon as possible. *Managers are understanding of the ups and downs of sales and will work with their reps to help get them back on track *No pointing fingers, just getting the job done, no matter what the case. *Internal teams have great communication and follow up/through. *Knowledge is openly shared throughout the organization.

Cons

*Salary is a bit on the low end. High stress in trying to meet metrics - even if a sale happens because the length of the sales cycle is so varied that you can't predict when you'll get your next win. (The job is a grind.) *60% of all new business wins come between September and December, making it the most stressful time of the year. *Tenured reps are treated differently and get more sales support such as someone who will do follow up calls and set appointments as well as doing the paperwork for a new prospect to get approved for the PEO model and pricing. *Residuals take 2-3 years to build up to anything significant. *Management will ask you to lower your enrollment fee on a deal to win the business which directly affects your commission. *Insperity takes a percentage of the enrollment fee so if you lower the fee to earn the business, Insperity still gets their cut of the ORIGINAL enrollment fee, making your commission even lower.

Pros

Good benefits. Can't think of any other.

Cons

Poor pay, the lowest paying company in the PEO industry. District Managers are awful, the ones I had. Regional Manager is less than supportive and more interested in micromangement. In my office, there is lack of support from District Manager and Regional Manager. I have witnessed first hand in a few areas District managers going on ride alongs, helping BPAs target businesses. It's an HR company that preaches work culture, but does not practice what it preaches. Turnover is higher than they like to admit, due to the nature of the job and appalling pay structure. Wear and tear of personal vehicle- you're not reimbursed mileage, or given vehicle allowance. You get an Amex card with less than $400 monthly, that is meant to cover gas (even with the current has prices), oil change, lunches, networking events. The amount itself is a joke, usually you run out of funds after the first week or 2 of each month and you're formed to use your own funds. Regional manager blamed entire team for people that got laid off, afterwards threatened people's jobs. When investors wanted more money, there were massive layoffs. Some staff were promised roles within the company, but of course they didn't keep their end of the bargain. I was given the most useless RM and DM. When I was hired, my district manager told a few lies and tricked me into accepting the position.
