Pros

My coworkers are pretty relaxed and pleasant to be around

Cons

I left ADP because it was the most deceitful company i have ever worked for. If you need to lie to candidates to get them to work for the company, then that means the problem is the work and culture. First lied about hybrid schedule. In office 4 times a week. Just barley can claim hybrid. Lied about office location. My commute ended up being 1 hour 10 minute drive one way because i was told i would be reporting to a closer offfice but that was not true. Terrible training and on boarding. National training did not match up to local office training. was so confused at how they wanted me to sell. Manager was very toxic and volatile and could never give constructive feed back on my actual work. But loads of comments on my appearance. Upper management so stuck in the old ADP way of selling and did not like any feedback or collaboration. Upper management would think of initiatives and just expected everyone to execute. So much for claiming "collaboration and cross functional work environment" during interviewing. Fear based and negative reenforcement work environment

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.

Cons

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.
