Pros

Great training classes and program. The trainers should be awarded for their in-depth knowledge and training ability. Great sales people across the board in different locations. The organizations model is well thought out for the prospective client and advertises to be client focused.

Cons

Poor management skills and judgement calls with new sales reps. High pressure prior to allowing enough time for the new sales representative to grow through the "ramp period"... literally allowing you zero ramp after training. Demeaning/passive-aggressive approach in continued training and growth track after training is complete, making it near impossible for a new hire to obtain true value and success within their first year. Comapny issues with being the highest costing PEO and very high metrics expected on their sales teams. The training will inform the sales reps that "this is one of the hardest sales, but most rewarding." There is little explanation why Insperity is 40% higher in cost than any other PEO in the industry, but the expectations on the sales reps are extreme/stressful/hard to reach. Expect to be mandated to be in office most of your time, even though it is advertised as an outside sales role.

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.
