Pros

ADP is a good place to start off in a sales career. You get your own territory so you are not stepping on anyone elses feet. The training progam is above average. You spend one week in New Jersey at the corporate headquarters. You meet people from all over the country and learn about the details of your job. I would say this is the most valuable part of working for ADP. If sales is your thing, this is a great op for you. Other companies recognize the name and it will get your foot in the door to other sales jobs in the future.

Cons

The pressure to get your quota every month can sometimes be stressful. There is a high turnover rate, but not nearly as bad as similar sales jobs. Also, some of the territories are more dried up than others. This can be a little frustrating, but the good news is that ADP is really good at creating innovative marketing and sales strategies that direct your sales to clients you already have. So, even if you are new to a territory, you still get a slew of clients that are already using the ADP services in that area. Overall, there are some downsides, but not too many.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
