Pros

6 figure annual income easy for those who are willing to work hard. Qualify for President's Club every year. You get decent recognition if you perform. I have been here over 4 years and have saved up enough money to purchase a home.

Cons

Income is capped out at around $200K even for top performers. Service is getting worse and worse. (Sometimes I feel like I am lying to my clients). Implementation is horrific. I waste a lot of time on implementation and service everyday. Wish I can save those time for sales and making money, being in front of customers. Culture is toxic, at least for my area. Cheating and lying is a norm.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
