Pros

Only Pros about working for ADP is it looks good on your resume. It's a fortune 500 company and they own the market for outsourced payroll and HR

Cons

I worked for ADP in NJ for 3 years. I saw it all. The incompetant co worker that sits next to you one day ( but knows how to kiss up to the right people) will become your manager the next time a promotion comes up. The sales people have unethical means by which to push a start thru in order to get their numbers for the month. Management knows this but will look the other way in order to pad the numbers favorably for their region. You really do get discouraged the longer you work for this company. In the end, if you kissed enough butt, your manager will make sure you can transfer to another department or get to work from home. If you didn't kiss butt and become a part of the "in crowd", you better start looking for another job beacuse they will make your life at work miserable until you quit.

Pros

Excellent benefits! Remote positions available. Solid core training available for technical or functionnal positions. Many divisions to work in - hence mobility.

Cons

Cronyism is rampant. Diversity appears only in lower level positions. They get rid of long-time, good employees by creating bogus performance issues leading to either termination or resignation - not a good place for "over 40" workers. Poor management. No"real" employee development. Lots of talk about diversity and employee development - but not "practising" this.

Pros

First 3 years were very enjoyable. Supportive Management, colleagues, positive, professional environment. Above average compensation prior to management shuffle. Overall satisfaction.

Cons

After management shuffle, management agenda/style changed and became very autocratic. Salary/compensation freeze and centralization. Rather than informing remote district sales managers that they were being centralized or eliminated, many were placed on 30 day performance improvement plans that were next to impossible to achieve without burnout. A very unprofessional way to force us out of the company or to move to head office.
