Pros

Its a place to work, you get a paycheck. I am in outside sales, they dont micro manage. Your free to run your territory with limited supervision.

Cons

The training is terrible. It is long and drawn out and sooooo boring. The company is boring, there is no excitment, nobody seems happy to be working there its like there all drones. I was in sales, so if your looking for a happy, lively, exciting, motivational and enthusiastic place to work....this is not it. Things move very slowly, decisions have to be made by the CEO, she has to have the last word on everything. She has hired management but it appears she has no confidence in them because NONE of them can make a decision without her approval. So things pile up and sit on her desk and months go buy and your frustration level builds because you need an answer so you ask your manager and the answer is "we are waiting on Elaine"

Pros

This company has a wonderful culture and the wamth and genuine concern for others is apparent in not only their policies but treatment of staff. Life/work balance is encouraged and promoted. Salary is based on qualification and past work history. Training is supportive with both self directed tutorials and file share programs easily accessed.

Cons

Office politics can play a role as it can in any organization. Fly straight and your fine.

Pros

They will hire with very little to no experience and offer thorough training in the payroll field. You can learn many aspects of the payroll office as they will give you as much responsibility as you can handle(and more in many cases).

Cons

The management of the company seems clueless in a lot of very important areas. The team they have in the St. Louis office is incredible at their jobs and they offer them no recognition or reward for the work they do to hold the company together especially in this time when they are struggling. The harder they ask you the work to help the company the more they shut their doors so they don't have to see it. It's a very uncomfortable environment made worse by the direct management of the St. Louis office that does not have the skills, knowledge or education to be in charge of the livelihood of a great team of employees. They also emphasize to their clients "a completely personal" approach to payroll service, yet continually change the product to move away from that personal level they still sell, then they leave it to the specialist to make excuses for them and cover it up.
