Pros

Free swag, awesome coworkers and benefits. They try really hard to get you to stay with these benefits—but don’t fall for their deception

Cons

Low pay for the amount of work required. Timed restroom breaks, poor training, unrealistic expectations for client services to complete endless cases. When we were in the office—they had camera crews come in and film people of color like myself to show how they care about minorities..but they really don’t. I personally also experienced racism via people in recruiting and in leadership in client services. Before they dissolved pod teams—I was on a small sub team of account managers where I was the only person of color—I applied to the same internal opening three times and was NEVER given an interview. Meanwhile 3 caucasian people on my team were given interviews for the positions they applied for. No one could explain why. I applied for a recruiting coordinator position that I was OVER QUALIFIED FOR. I brought up racism to HR during my exit interview and they told me that I should be careful making claims that serious…AS IF I’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED RACISM BEFORE. I don’t even care that I got rejected for the job—I care that I was NEVER interviewed. Leaving this company to work for a company that actually pays me DOUBLE what I made at PCTY was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s so utterly pathetic that this company has to constantly use their culture as a selling point for this job because the culture died out a while ago. If you’re reading this review and you are a person of color—please don’t fall for their “culture” tricks. They are JUST as racist and greedy as every other corporation.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
