Pros

Benefits are good inexpensive still offer a $250 Deductible . Salary is okay.

Cons

Bad local management Regional and District Managers are terrible with few exceptions.Unskilled, no leadership qualities and zero people skills. Clique-ish environment. Don't get fooled by the talk of residuals they will make you cut your take to the bone to get a deal and head counts.The DM's comp is not tied into margin they are based on head counts. Corp leads are for the few and privileged. You will need a savings account for your first 12-18 months and a desire to spend it to pay your bills. If you get into a groove and into the clique you might be able to make a go here. Sales does not get a 401(k) match. Corporate employees do. Training really nice people but their job is to tell you how to sell the the company way (or the highway) rather than teaching you the product. Two weeks total in Kingwood TX in the chain motel. They will feed you pretty well. Their sales method is about a six step process and they never ask for the business or go for the close???!!! I have 25 years experience every new hire is forced to be an appointment setter for senior sales reps. And you will be asked to cold call and go door to door at local businesses. The product is too expensive, they complicate the process until the prospect is too frustrated to keep listening. It is selling a Bentley to a business owner who can afford a Chevy. They claim you are not selling insurance but essentially you are and unlicensed. The company is stuck in the 1980's, it takes brass XXXXX to sell PEO.

Pros

*Many sales tools and training provided throughout tenure. *Local management does a great job of taking care of their people and being servant leaders. No one is too busy to talk to you and give advice or guidance. *Unmatched referral program with good sized budget to build relationships and earn prospective business *Attitudes stay professional no matter what and issues are resolved as soon as possible. *Managers are understanding of the ups and downs of sales and will work with their reps to help get them back on track *No pointing fingers, just getting the job done, no matter what the case. *Internal teams have great communication and follow up/through. *Knowledge is openly shared throughout the organization.

Cons

*Salary is a bit on the low end. High stress in trying to meet metrics - even if a sale happens because the length of the sales cycle is so varied that you can't predict when you'll get your next win. (The job is a grind.) *60% of all new business wins come between September and December, making it the most stressful time of the year. *Tenured reps are treated differently and get more sales support such as someone who will do follow up calls and set appointments as well as doing the paperwork for a new prospect to get approved for the PEO model and pricing. *Residuals take 2-3 years to build up to anything significant. *Management will ask you to lower your enrollment fee on a deal to win the business which directly affects your commission. *Insperity takes a percentage of the enrollment fee so if you lower the fee to earn the business, Insperity still gets their cut of the ORIGINAL enrollment fee, making your commission even lower.

Pros

Good benefits. Can't think of any other.

Cons

Poor pay, the lowest paying company in the PEO industry. District Managers are awful, the ones I had. Regional Manager is less than supportive and more interested in micromangement. In my office, there is lack of support from District Manager and Regional Manager. I have witnessed first hand in a few areas District managers going on ride alongs, helping BPAs target businesses. It's an HR company that preaches work culture, but does not practice what it preaches. Turnover is higher than they like to admit, due to the nature of the job and appalling pay structure. Wear and tear of personal vehicle- you're not reimbursed mileage, or given vehicle allowance. You get an Amex card with less than $400 monthly, that is meant to cover gas (even with the current has prices), oil change, lunches, networking events. The amount itself is a joke, usually you run out of funds after the first week or 2 of each month and you're formed to use your own funds. Regional manager blamed entire team for people that got laid off, afterwards threatened people's jobs. When investors wanted more money, there were massive layoffs. Some staff were promised roles within the company, but of course they didn't keep their end of the bargain. I was given the most useless RM and DM. When I was hired, my district manager told a few lies and tricked me into accepting the position.
