Pros

Software platform has great flexibility, even if it is underutilized and documentation is non-existent because no one is left who understands it beyond surface level set up.

Cons

Intense personality politics, favoritism, and massively negative culture that views ‘low level’ roles as not engaged enough and incapable. Poor support overall from management. All the good management is too overworked to make time for you- whoever does have time has too much of it, and will micromanage what they do not understand into the ground while framing it as cost effective improvements for personal promotions. All that you will get laughed out the door for even thinking about a raise for taking on three+ roles (and more as time persists) as one person. Very unsupportive of people who need any kind of accommodation.

Some leadership changes towards the end of my work there, but it seems like that has been smoothed out.

Pros

Remote or Hybrid work schedule, if you live outside of the city limits. Unlimited PTO policy, but is PTO ever unlimited.

Cons

There is not much room for advancement, if you’re not connected. Most of middle management and above are not POC. All the strong POC leaders were here today, gone the next day! The staff is overworked and underpaid. Only way to receive a higher salary is to resign and reapply. I survived a few CEOs, and once this last one came in all the tenured staff were being let go. Normal, if a new Executive comes in but there people were 15+ years in. This new PlanSource does not seem as if it cares much for their employees. Most of the workload is being outsourced to India. I’ve seen good, hardworking dedicate people get axed during my time! Not sure they’re invested in retaining good talent! Definitely a swim or sink culture, You will not get much help with learning the Benefits Admin system. It’s sort of a self-guided dive in approach.
