Pros

While it is difficult to get into the company, once you get in it is very difficult to get fired. The company is loyal to employees, almost to a fault. That situation is great for employees. The benefits are great. You really aren't asked to do much in comparison to other places I have been.

Cons

During my interview process, I was told by a senior manager that this is not the place to think you are going to change the world. You just stay under the radar and get paid. This is the best way to describe the company. Sales works extremely hard, but every other department never breaks a sweat. This can be frustrating if you are working with other groups to get something done because there is zero urgency. No one is really held accountable for what doesn't get done. If you are the type to just go into the office, then go home without caring much about work then none of this will matter to you and may be seen as a positive. Most people who work at Insperity have been there 15-20 years. There are alot of married couples and children of employees working there. This creates uncomfortable situations. The reality is that many employees grew up together there. Their kids all went to school together. So you have decade long bonds and conflicts. This definitely effects business at times. You have times when one employee hates the other for something that happened years ago and you have situations where opinions are that employees can do no wrong. It also creates a sense of "us vs them" when it comes to newer employees.

Pros

*Many sales tools and training provided throughout tenure. *Local management does a great job of taking care of their people and being servant leaders. No one is too busy to talk to you and give advice or guidance. *Unmatched referral program with good sized budget to build relationships and earn prospective business *Attitudes stay professional no matter what and issues are resolved as soon as possible. *Managers are understanding of the ups and downs of sales and will work with their reps to help get them back on track *No pointing fingers, just getting the job done, no matter what the case. *Internal teams have great communication and follow up/through. *Knowledge is openly shared throughout the organization.

Cons

*Salary is a bit on the low end. High stress in trying to meet metrics - even if a sale happens because the length of the sales cycle is so varied that you can't predict when you'll get your next win. (The job is a grind.) *60% of all new business wins come between September and December, making it the most stressful time of the year. *Tenured reps are treated differently and get more sales support such as someone who will do follow up calls and set appointments as well as doing the paperwork for a new prospect to get approved for the PEO model and pricing. *Residuals take 2-3 years to build up to anything significant. *Management will ask you to lower your enrollment fee on a deal to win the business which directly affects your commission. *Insperity takes a percentage of the enrollment fee so if you lower the fee to earn the business, Insperity still gets their cut of the ORIGINAL enrollment fee, making your commission even lower.

Pros

Good benefits. Can't think of any other.

Cons

Poor pay, the lowest paying company in the PEO industry. District Managers are awful, the ones I had. Regional Manager is less than supportive and more interested in micromangement. In my office, there is lack of support from District Manager and Regional Manager. I have witnessed first hand in a few areas District managers going on ride alongs, helping BPAs target businesses. It's an HR company that preaches work culture, but does not practice what it preaches. Turnover is higher than they like to admit, due to the nature of the job and appalling pay structure. Wear and tear of personal vehicle- you're not reimbursed mileage, or given vehicle allowance. You get an Amex card with less than $400 monthly, that is meant to cover gas (even with the current has prices), oil change, lunches, networking events. The amount itself is a joke, usually you run out of funds after the first week or 2 of each month and you're formed to use your own funds. Regional manager blamed entire team for people that got laid off, afterwards threatened people's jobs. When investors wanted more money, there were massive layoffs. Some staff were promised roles within the company, but of course they didn't keep their end of the bargain. I was given the most useless RM and DM. When I was hired, my district manager told a few lies and tricked me into accepting the position.
