Pros

Benefits are decent, although they started using United which did not cover anything. 401k is ok Ok base salary, about average Payroll guy is really helpful if you have questions

Cons

Micromanage you to death No room for growth Quotas were outrageous Comp plan never stayed consistant, so we made less and less money every quarter Management is so lost, especially in sales- had 4 managers in 3 years Payroll system often has technical errors so you get a million calls from current customers telling you that you are responsible, because you sold it to them. Customer Care couldn't care less No time off during Xmas, because 4th quarter is the biggest time in payroll Bought out by Paychex which is the worst payroll company to deal with Deal with a lot of tax notices, because tax team are not certified tax professionals

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.
