Pros

Job Title for advancement outside of ADP, you can use the title that ADP gives you and extended that outside the company to find a more fitting position.... They stress a good job description, however they don't allow you to do what they wrote down on paper.

Cons

The company is very silo in terms of working together in projects or collaboration with other team members. Upper management in the Employee Service division are very "Old School"... They have a micro managing hand on everything.... Employees don't have a say in anything, only the "Managers" assigned to them..... One isn't able to perform the job description to which they were hired for or interviewed. Outside experience isn't looked upon as a positive thing, it's actually discouraged because it will cause a "rocking of the boat" which isn't allowed.

Pros

good intro to sales, but absolutely no opportunity to learn their touted consultative approach when the script you are being asked to use when cold calling is: hi this is abc from ADP are you looking to change payroll providers? if yes continue if no call someone else. they invest thousands of dollars training their salesforce in consultative selling and then they turn you into a telemarketer.

Cons

see above. Management style in many cases is absolute pressure onto sales without actually investing any time trying to improve the sales person, managers are also under a lot of pressure therefore they find it easier to run sales people to the ground and hire new ones.

Pros

ADP is comitted to employee growth, and because of that, continues to invest in their people. Other than Executive MBA's, training is rarely turned down. If you're in technology or project management, you can obtain every certification you want.

Cons

Over-focused to the point of pain on double digit EPS growth. Was asked to justify a $200 expense which was spent on a team recognition - and I was at the Director level! In Canada specifically, Executive management which has been in place too long; doesn't tolerate difference of opinions, gets far far too involved in the day-to-day operations of the company, and is too busy slithering through the weeds to see the forest.
