Pros

The actual job is stimulating and encourages you to constantly evolve. Starting hourly wage is above industry standard. Senior service team members (1 year plus)level are exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, and considerate of their co-workers.

Cons

Team leads and upper management do not hold new employees accountable when not the are not pulling their weight. They also do not ensure that the ones who want to learn are receiving the training that they need to do the complicated job that this is. This means that 10% of the staff is doing 90% of the work. The most productive and knowledgeable staff are being burnt out until they eventually leave and management seems completely unconcerned with these vacancies. Management is uninformed and unaware of how to do the actual job which does not make them useful on the floor since they can't actually answer any relevant questions. High turnover of tenured staff. Compensation plan is now unattainable even for the top performers.

Pros

Wolters Kluwer has some genuinely amazing people working for them and offers flextime for good work/life balance

Cons

Recently began pushing to "inhouse-outsource" as much of the core business functions as possible to their new service center in Pune, India. While many of my Indian colleagues are exceptional people, the constant turnover with overseas contractors and haphazard hiring and training process means that many of these staff members are woefully underprepared and set up for failure. As an example, I had to train my Indian contractor replacement before I left - while he was a lovely person, he had zero training in or experience with US payroll, benefit or tax structures despite that being approximately 50% of my core job function.
