I was an older worker when I accepted position with ADP-returning to fulltime after raising kids. I was impressed with benefits, site amenities( wonderful cafe, free food weekly,grounds, free doctor in building, massages offered at small fee). However, after several months of training and finally live on the floor, I quickly realized the training was insufficient for the volume of knowledge needed to execute the requirements that can only be gained through years of experience. Instead of layering the learning (learn aspects, become efficient, then learn more)..ADP pushes all if it at once over long training weeks. Inn addition expecting employees to do additional virtual training during over time (paid of course)...leave work -eat and study at home nights and weekends. Also having to resolve client issues that cannot be completed by phone...in the 'after hours' time. Easily some people were working 12 hours a day etc. Many ee at other locations who had years of experience had been laid off -there meetings about it shortly after being hired. Non experienced had very limited access to assistance-being new hire heavy. Severy very complicated tax, banking, systems calculation and back system issues need to be understood well in order to help clients to troubleshoot their payroll disasters. No work life balance, exhausting and very stressful..at a minimal wage. I was quickly dismayed...realizing that all the 'benefits' were necessary to keep people motivated to survive the beating. The dream company turn nightmare was not worth it.I left and found another position with a comparable wage....though the perks are not as extensive...my sanity, life with my family has returned.
