Pros

Great medical insurance, easy going Day to day, lots of SP gear to wear, employees have great personalities. 401k match is good. Relaxed casual dress code.

Cons

No appreciation of hard working employees, lazy workers get away with murder, not a good structure of discipline to those who do not not work and milk the clock. Work is not evenly distributed. No matter what they say they are a sales driven company and relay on customer care to help save the clients from terminated, then customer care usually gets the blame. You get 5 different answers from 5 different people when you ask the same question. The different departments have different jobs and none of them really communicate with each other; you can't have a successful company of the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Black out period is a few months long, (no time off, including sick time) should be considered human labor. There are a lot of work politics going on here - you get promoted if they want you. (Avoid tax department- it is like a high school clique over there, and the VP let's it all happen)

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, unlimited time off.

Cons

From the start, it was uncomfortably obvious that at least half of the people in marketing had problems with one another. You could actively feel the tension in every interaction: during video calls, in email threads, even in Slack chats, etc. At first, I blamed structural issues. The various marketing teams were set up in a confusing way, and it wasn’t clear who owned what or who made final decisions. So I understood why everyone felt like their toes were being stepped on. However, I really think it goes beyond that. There’s a fundamental lack of respect, and it’s led to an extremely negative and passive aggressive environment. The pay is slightly above market value, which is what led me to accept the job in the first place (despite one of my pre-employment interviews with the team being so tense and uncomfortable that the hiring manager actually had to apologize). However, I really wish I had trusted my gut. My experience at SurePayroll was by far my least favorite of my entire career.
