Pros

The difference between divisions is staggering. Small Business Services is a great place to get your initial sales experience, learn to sell and make some money, but it's heavily micro-managed, intense and unsustainable as a long-term career (for most, especially if you're not able to develop strong referral relationships.) Major accounts has the support and tools you need to sell value and great opportunities for making a lot of money. ADP adapts to the marketplace (albeit sometimes a little slowly) so you can meet client needs.

Cons

Trending a little towards mico-management since the recession. Many of the DVP roles are filled by executives from SBS who have a "matrix-mentality." Love tracking. Not all bad, but can interfere with selling time. Your experience can really vary by region and depend on the manager you work for.

Pros

Physical Working environment, Hours of Operation, Health benefits and retirement options.

Cons

ADP is a company that exemplifies the "good old Boy network". Managers are whimsical and inconsistent regarding their expectations and job evaluation skills. They are hired to fill high level positions without any knowledge or background in the areas where they are suppose to lead. Sales personnel, especially in the insurance divisions are hired first, then learn the business while they are on the job. Most of these jobs should require the employee to have some knowledge and compliance education before "selling" to businesses that are relying on the ADP name to provide them with the best possible options for their company and employees. .
