Pros
Leadership team cares about the success of both their clients and their employees. Due to the size of the company, your efforts are noticeably impactful, which is a good feeling, especially when your teammates or the leadership team openly acknowledge your contributions. Strong encouragement and incentives for personal and professional growth. Excellent work-life balance. Leadership teams understands that your family comes first. High expectations and accountability are not just preached by the leadership team, but demonstrated through their own continued improvement in those areas. Consistent and above-average year-over-year growth means increased compensation and leadership opportunities for those who are passionate, self-motivated, and committed. The frequent family events and extra-curricular activities (pre-COVID) were always wonderful. The benefits, although not comparable to big corporate offerings, are respectable for a company of this size.
Kontras
Sometimes the leadership team can be stubborn, so good ideas could be passed over if you aren't resolute and resilient. Sometimes cracking a hard head just takes a harder head. They, and especially the employees, would benefit dramatically from joining a PEO.
