Pros

Unlimited PTO, can work remotely, kind of flexible schedule, good pay if you hit your numbers

Cons

Micromanaging to the t. People are treated like numbers, and if you don't hit your monthly targets, you are treated badly. My manager was the worst and gave everyone on the team anxiety. The team was also not very diverse with only 2 Black Sales Reps out of 30 and maybe 2 Asian Sales Reps. You could have a good work life balance with this role if the managers had boundaries. The manager would call and text at 8 PM-10 PM, and more likely than not, work would bleed over to when you got home. If your sanity is a priority, and you actually want a work life balance, stay away.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
