Pros

Used to be a good company 10+ years ago and some very good experienced specialists here, however most have been driven out or RIFed by an unpleasant culture at certain levels only looking out for themselves.

Kontras

Toxic blame culture that rewards employees who often do the least and punishes those who work hard to change what’s not working. Your entire success is at your manager’s discretion and there are some very poor lifers who have survived and been promoted simply for going along to get along and not doing the right thing. Revolving door with exceptionally high turnover because of poor pay, cheap benefits and a clear tolerance and preference of management for ‘yes people’ however lazy or incompetent they may be at their jobs. Constant change initiatives and pivots for the sake of change, to cut employee numbers, and/or to make certain leaders justify their existence, even when not needed. This often causes chaos at lower levels with not enough staff to perform the jobs leaving those left behind overburdened and without any work/life balance. Outdated, management culture and approach. “You’re lucky to have a job”, "Get on with it", “Take it or leave it” approach for past years. Many people did just that leaving a deficit of experience and knowledge in many areas. HR policy consistently reinforces the top-down hierarchical culture rather than supporting employees who need it at middle and lower levels. Outdated technology and unnecessary, overly bureaucratic hierarchical structure which makes getting even often simple tasks done a painful and drawn out process.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Kontras

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
