Ceridian Reviews

Pros

Strong, smart and friendly Sr Leadership team Innovative - work smart, play smart, unlimited TAFW, flexible hours as makes sense Growth and Career Development options, training and opportunities

Cons

None. You need to want to work hard, we are a growing company

Pros

Management listens to improvement ideas from lower-levels employees. HR stays current with trends, many excellent employee benefits. Lots of long-term employees, so lots of understanding of proposed changes without having to explain how they currently work. A senior VP a few years ago commented to me: "I am amazed at how many long-serving employees this company has. " Somewhere about 700 FTE, and least I knew, only about 20 part-time employees

Cons

Regular changing of software technology being purchased gets frustrating constantly learning new products. Example: our Internal instant-message software supplier has been changed, I think 4 times in the last 5 years.

Pros

- Excellent remote work culture, even before COVID - Good work/life balance and flexibility to attend to appointments, family, etc - Large application that needs to scale: developers will learn a lot working on the flagship SaaS product

Cons

- New senior leadership have thrown strategy, planning, and direction in disarray. Staff feels that they're chasing targets that have been changing weekly for months - Lack of clear direction despite hard deadlines creates pressure for the teams to constantly throw away work and rush to deliver new work. - People are resigning on an almost weekly basis, making it harder for those who stay to keep pace - Projects seem to be managed based on the value they deliver to executives' reputations, rather than the value they deliver to customers - Company is expanding with new management and senior leadership positions, but existing staff feels that these positions have been reserved for friends of other senior leaders based on who has been hired - Communication between leadership and staff appears to be poor with frustration on both sides

Pros

Work from home and a growing industry with employment opportunities.

Cons

Cronyism defined is the appointment of friends and associates to positions of authority, without proper regard to their qualifications. Only bad management would allow this to happen. Favouritism in the workplace results in low morale, a bad culture and overlooking good performers. My advice, stop making your friends managers, it's obvious. My advice to head office, look into this. Ceridian would be a much better place to work if a few things changed. First, the idea that NPS scores drive everything has resulted in a terrible team environment. Too often those steering the ship will not attend calls, remain silent on calls and throw colleagues under the bus. Why? Are they just trying to save their own name? Good customer service would be clearly communicating the project to our customers from start to finish. What services will be rendered? What resources the customer should have in place (technical, data focused, business process re-engineering)? How often are we going to touch base? Examples of what will be asked of them etc. Too often our customers are left in the dark which results in unnecessary frustration on both sides. Support your team, take the time to understand issues so they can be communicated clearly. Corners are being cut, take ownership for your end of the project. Aptitude is important, not everyone can fill every role. Try being more realistic with hiring. Does the candidates skills align with the role?

Pros

- Excellent Work-life Balance - Lots of internal communication - Flexible work arrangements (Work from home, even prior to Covid) - Caring and Empathy from direct and indirect management - Amazing Time-Off Policy (Unlimited Vacation - within reason) - Best-in-class culture

Cons

- Long term employees may find it difficult to work their way up the pay scale through promotions - Work load ebbs and flows, so can be take a toll on work-life balance at times (not often, but it's there) - A lot of unnecessary administrative tasks that get in the way of actual work - Recognition has suffered over the past couple of years - Excellent benefits packages. Even pets can be insured.
