      Pros

      The people are great. Benefits are decent. PTO is great.

      Cons

      Worst computer processing system I've ever used. If you enjoy working more then eight hours on a Wednesday this is the job for you. You are expected to wait for payrolls to run on the heaviest processing day of the week, could take up to four hours for one payroll to run. No training, have to rely on co-workers. I honestly feel the Mt Laurel division will close. They won't admit to it, but the writing is on the wall. You'll be sorry if you take a payroll processing position.

      Thank you for your review. Pleasing to read the PTO and benefits worked well for you when you were at Sage. Couldn't agree with you more that our people are fantastic. We do have training for our payroll teams in NAM plus lots of other development available on Linda.com which is found via the Sage Academy. Well done for working in a tough environment - payroll. In any company payroll tends to have high volume processing days, it's the nature of the business. We have no plans at all to close the Mt. Laurel offices. Thanks again for your feedback.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
