ADP reviews

some of the systems are old, sometimes feels like manual data processing. Management up trumps sales numbers. Some of the service people are not as well paid as they should be. As a consequence not all the talent is at the high end in service ops.

-For the first 3 months, you will be cold calling, walking door to door handing out flyers and business cards with limited results. -Turnover is AWFUL, I worked there for 14 months, and there were only 5 people were left from when I started, within the first 3 months of being there I actually counted 13 people had quit or been fired (mostly quit). -Highest priced product in the industry, in this market particularly, people are not willing to spend that much. -TONS of competition, not only other payroll service providers, but you compete with banks, bookkeepers, in-house accountants / office managers, Quickbooks. -Despite management telling you their only competitor is Paychex, in fact this is a VERY diluted industry, every company has an online product that can calculate payroll and pay their employees. -Payroll industry is driven by employment, and in a down economy, it is not exactly the best product to sell, especially in Oregon. -Nobody cares about payroll, it is not on the top of mind of 99% of decision makers, and overall it comes down to price, no matter how many "benefits" ADP's RUN platform can offer. -Last but not least, PAYROLL IS BORING, not a fun thing to sell, nobody cares about it, and convincing somebody to switch companies is not easy.
