Pros

PEO business model is not like any other I've experienced. The company contributes a decent amount for medical, dental and vision benefits. Managers have open door policies and are very visible.

Cons

The company makes you pay for all other benefits, including the ones employers typically pay for - life, disability, etc. They contribute to HSA, but it's very little. Dont let them fool you by saying it's part of your salary. No training at all. This includes leadership training for managers. They might be excellent subject matter experts but have no idea of to manage people. Pay is below industry standards. Raises are not consistent. Very high turnover. They bring in very young workforce, so they don't have to pay them much, but they leave after a year or 2 of experience. Processes are 20 years behind the times and they have no desire to be current or relevant with current technology as it relates to client experience or efficiency. Managers frequently gossip with each other and subordinates on the floor, in front of others. The facilities are old and outdated but owner/exec's dont care bc they work out of a brand new office downtown and dont have to be bothered with day to day Operations. No employee engagement or appreciation. Theres a snack shack, but you have to pay for it. Christmas bonus was a measly $25 gift card. Employee appreciation breakfast was bagels and coffee. They could do so much better if they tried, but apathy is an epidemic. You can bear Sheakley wear a few times a year. The company who manufactures it, is also owned by Larry Sheakley. Conflict of interest much? Departments are very siloed. There is no communication across teams. No idea where the company is going or how my role contributes to any challenges or success that are happening.
