Pros

Great starting pay for a call center ($17.25). Great benefits.

Cons

They tell you how great it is to work for SurePayroll yet they have a high turnover rate! Most of the reps have been in their positions for less than a year. During year end, there is NO work life balance. If you have children, expect to be away from them for at least 12 hours a day while working for this company. The managers, supervisors and team leads are not as friendly and flexible as they portray themselves to be. After two weeks of training you will be thrown onto the phones before you're ready. There's supposed to be help nearby (because of your inexperience) but your team leads will not be as helpful or present as you'd think. It's really disappointing. Your coworkers will be petty and will throw you under the bus. Be careful what you say and WHO you say it to. Don't make the mistake of thinking someone is your 'friend' after one friendly conversation.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, unlimited time off.

Cons

From the start, it was uncomfortably obvious that at least half of the people in marketing had problems with one another. You could actively feel the tension in every interaction: during video calls, in email threads, even in Slack chats, etc. At first, I blamed structural issues. The various marketing teams were set up in a confusing way, and it wasn’t clear who owned what or who made final decisions. So I understood why everyone felt like their toes were being stepped on. However, I really think it goes beyond that. There’s a fundamental lack of respect, and it’s led to an extremely negative and passive aggressive environment. The pay is slightly above market value, which is what led me to accept the job in the first place (despite one of my pre-employment interviews with the team being so tense and uncomfortable that the hiring manager actually had to apologize). However, I really wish I had trusted my gut. My experience at SurePayroll was by far my least favorite of my entire career.
