Pros

There are no pros that I can think of for this company or its management team.

Cons

The culture of the company is such that everyone is against each other. The management team does a terrible job of supporting their employees and fosters a competitive environment that is simply not necessary. There are cameras and voice recorders everywhere throughout the office that get reviewed frequently. They don't even trust their own employees! The training that new employees receive is minimal and not helpful - they hand you a book and expect you to learn ALL of the payroll laws and policies in 1 month. They also expect you to train yourself on how to use their software. The workload itself is manageable but gets very stressful at the end of the year until April. The best word to describe the office culture is toxic. The CEO and management team do not care or put forth any effort to help their employees grow or develop professionally. As long as you are doing your job and making the company money, that is all they care about. Their tactic is to hire recent college graduates and pay them minimally - $10/hour. The turnover rate is so high because of the low pay and toxic environment. One of the girls when I was there, after being hired to be a part of the sales team, quit without notice because she was asked to do manual, secretarial work all the time. They will use you for their benefit solely. Please be aware before applying to work here.

Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback. We value your input as it will help us make further improvements! I do want to respond to some of your points of concern. We apologize that you feel you did not receive enough training when you joined the team. Proliant’s Training Team has worked to create new, in-depth training sessions to ensure all employees are empowered with knowledge on all aspects of the system. Training sessions for new hires are also provided including an overview of the company, security training, system training, and position specific training. While we do have an electronic monitoring policy, it is certainly not for lack of trust of our employees. Our policy is communicated to all employees and the purpose is to protect sensitive information for our Company and for our Clients along with providing a safe work environment. Proliant does have several entry level opportunities in many different departments. We find this to be a great benefit to employees new to the work force as they have a great opportunity to grow and learn here. We also pride ourselves in promoting from within and giving our employees an opportunity to grow with us. Thanks again for your contribution and feedback!

Pros

Access to people. The C-Suite is more engaged and willing to help with clients and prospective clients than you would see anywhere else. Managers and upper leadership actually care about what you have to say and help facilitate real change! Comp structure is one of the most lucrative opportunities I’ve ever had!! Company profit is funneled back into product development and support, not stadiums or golfers. We’re the largest payroll provider no one has ever heard of.

Cons

My only complaint which isn’t really even a complaint, is the new hire training could be a bit more robust.

Pros

Work from home has been great

Cons

Over the years it has felt like the people first mentality isn’t valued specifically in supporting and showing appreciation towards their account managers.
