Unrealistic goals set. They focus more on how you do it, rather than the end result. - Recruiter Insperity Employee Review

Pros

They do have a great medical benefits package. The work life balance in the office is very attractive. You are given several outlets to join groups to meet others in the organization and contribute to the atmosphere/culture of the office.

Cons

The management is very 'click-ish'. Felt too much like high school with gossip circles and 'in-crowds' that try to make you feel like you are left out if you don't gossip with them. I was a top performer in my team every year I was there and was not interested in the office politics that you must play to move up within the team. I was nominated by the leadership to be part of the "Advanced Leadership Development Team", a group that they use to train their employees to take the next level of position in the company. During the training for this, there are other Managers/Leaders brought in to give presentations and answer questions by the group. The trainers were even disappointed in the presentation/answer times that they made the comments to us to "NOT" do what the leaders presented to do. They under pay their employees and expect them to stay long term, because "you can win a jeans day" at the office. NOPE>>> not worth it unless you are looking for a place to just go in at 8 am and leave at 5 pm, to collect a small paycheck.

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.
