Pros

Mostly stable job. You get to learn how a large company functions.

Cons

8 years with them, worked hard to learn new tech that was being implemented. I had asked about a promotion/raise and was told they had no reason to. I took that as I needed a job offer showing my value. I went out and got an offer that was a 50% raise and came back with it. I made it very clear that I didn't want to leave, but I was clearly more valuable than I was currently making. My manager took what I wanted to HR to get an approval, which he got. He approved it but when it came to upper management approval they asked HR what it would cost to replace me. HR said it would cost about what I was asking and also said "We find that when someone is looking for a new job then they won't be happy even with a promotion.", so the upper manager said that's the answer and goodbye.

Pros

You will meet some cool people, bond over your dislike for the company and all the games they play. Lots to laugh at on a daily basis. A paycheck. Watch leadership fail and flop around daily but constantly tell one another during meetings how amazing they are (comical). Funny to see a lot of lifers here with no willingness to accept other concepts outside of ADP exist and could improve processes/functions/operations because they've been here 10, 15, 20+ years and have the "we've always done it this was since 2001" mindset.

Cons

Wow not sure where to begin with this thesis. Leadership is a mean girls club all the way to the GM and back down to line managers. Way too many unnecessary layers of management. Below market wages which cause monthly turnover from every department. Even before covid people left after 6 to 12 months. Irate clients are allowed to disrespect you ADP does not care what they say as long as they are making money. You are a call center operator. Promotions can be totally random and usually based on favoritism and not skill. If you are not on leaderships good side your career will be stifled, forever, regardless of your performance. Men are treated way better than women. Bonuses and raises are also heavily based on favoritism and not on actual performance. So if you decide to work here make sure management as a whole likes you or you will be screwed indefinitely. Kpis are impossible to keep up with and change frequently with poor communication. If you question anything you will be on the naughty list and the mean girls club will ensure you know it!

ADP doesn't care

Pros

Coworkers are always available to help you when needed. Training is excellent.

Cons

Forcing employees to go back in the office when we have proved ourselves working from home for over a year. Employees leaving to go to other companies so they could continue to work from home. Takes away our home life balance. Deductibles way to high on insurance.
