Pros

Good Benefits, Some Growth Potential, Great Leadership, Awesome Work/Life Balance

Cons

Bonus Structure - Kind of lopsided. Staffing division does not get nearly as much as PEO. Immature Gossip - Some of the office staff can use training or schooling on professionalism, office etiquette, and how to work well with others. Work Space - It's getting crowded in here. Pay - Not competitive, not based on performance or education. I have an MBA but earn less than/equal to counterparts who don't. Turnover

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers who are always willing to help and collaborate. Working with a variety of clients provides valuable networking opportunities and exposure to different industries, making it a great place to build professional relationships and expand your experience.

Cons

Leadership has declined significantly compared to previous management. A major concern is the lack of trust shown toward employees, which has led to an environment where people feel micromanaged rather than empowered to do their jobs effectively. Previous leadership encouraged open communication, listened to employee feedback, and fostered a culture of mutual respect and accountability. In contrast, employee concerns and suggestions are often not acknowledged or acted upon, leaving many feeling unheard and undervalued. There is a noticeable lack of meaningful listening and engagement from management, which has contributed to low morale and a growing disconnect between leadership and staff. The overall work environment has become increasingly negative, with a culture that does not consistently promote trust, collaboration, or professional growth. Additionally, there have been instances of inappropriate jokes and comments that create discomfort among employees, further contributing to a workplace culture that can feel unprofessional, unwelcoming, and unsupportive.
