CoAdvantage

What is the best part of working at the company?
The role will start out as very flexible, and seem to be the perfect job. Benefits are decent for private industry when used with the HSA offered. Clients keep the job interesting. Great team, but everyone is in different regions of the US, so it is hard to establish connections beyond Safety team leadership.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You will get excellent performance reviews from the Director you report to, but even that won't be enough to keep you in this role if someone in Upper Management has it out for you. When you get put on a PIP, they are getting ready to terminate you. All the great performance reviews from the person you directly reported to will be nullified by layered scrutiny and changing weekly expectations with the PIP.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Upper Management is toxic, and makes the Safety Consultant role not as good of as it seems in the beginning. If you make mistakes as you learn the role, or aren't properly trained on all of their expectations--they will make it a reflection of your own performance, rather than their own shortcomings. They will track login times and time on your computer as a reflection of how much you are working, with disregard for the fact that this position enters the field and reviews information/contacts clients away from the computer. Not everyone is treated the same when it comes to the expectations for this role. Detailed work is appreciated and encouraged, but is not valued or I would have done well in this role, as my work was very detailed with ever-increasing expectations from who I reported to.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The days can vary, but initially started with checking emails, responding to clients or colleagues as needed, scheduling visits with clients and coordinating your calendar, going out to clients for Safety visits, taking pictures, completing documentation for your visit, compiling informational resources for clients, and attending biweekly team meetings with other Safety Consultants on your team.

I worked at CoAdvantage as a Business Consultant and gained valuable experience in the PEO industry. The role allowed me to sharpen my consultative sales skills and help businesses streamline their HR and payroll processes, which I found rewarding.

However, my time at the company was not without challenges. In my experience, the management style within my department was not conducive to a supportive or empowering work environment. Communication could have been more transparent, and the focus on employee development and morale seemed secondary to meeting performance metrics. This created a stressful atmosphere that made it difficult to thrive.

While this position offered professional growth opportunities, the workplace culture ultimately detracted from my ability to feel fully engaged and valued.

The expectation of work hrs is about 8-3 or 4. I was told there would be "some" cold calling when I asked during my interview. It ended up being 90% cold calling. The team was great, but very low moral in regards to the direct manager. The hardest part of the job is....the job. Every step is tough. Convincing someone to set a time to speak to you is tough enough. then, if you make the initial appt, the next step is to convince them to change their payroll, benefits, worker's comp & HR dept. Tough sell. But, if you come from an HR background or ADP or Paychex and already have relationships, it can be very rewarding. I enjoyed the sales team and learning about the industry, but the position was not for me.

Management and team leads are non existent, and the training you receive (if any) changes with each new person hired. Good luck keeping up with your clients because you will be assigned way too many to manage. Speaking of clients- they will treat you with disrespect and your manager won't do anything about it. You will take the fall for all mistakes- including ones you either didn't do or couldn't control. To sum it up- don't apply here. They will lure you in with pretty good pay, but then chew you up and spit you out. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great culture. Great work life balance

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cold calling. You are expected to make 20 cold calls a day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back. Casual.  They encourage you to be yourself.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Works starts 8.30. I make cold calls for 1 hour straight. I research companies for 2 hours to build up a list of contacts, and then I visit companies to tell them about what we do

Originally hired part time working 20-30 hours when family owned and continued when company was bought out by large PEO Corporation.  Friendly and relaxed atmosphere and was made full time when it was discovered that I was actually working full time hours and then put on a full time basis and became eligible for company benefits including vacation and paid holidays.

One of the main things that drew me to CoAdvantage was the culture...I was really looking to find an employer that recognized that their employees were their biggest asset and treated them as such, and I really feel that CoAdvantage has exceeded my expectations on that front. 

The people are wonderful and most of us absolutely love what we do and actually enjoy coming to work. The office environment feels homey and inviting, and I appreciate the attention to even those tiny details that the customers will never experience first-hand.

A great place to work, and learn, doing my time at CoAdvantage, I learn a lot., The company was in the process of conventing a new system. I started by just adding old notes to the new system, then new hire, termination, wage changes, changes on w4. Knowledge of I9, what are expectable and what  not. What documents are needed to  complete employees forms. Client Space, termination letter with unemployment documents attached. Unemployment claim using Taxl, uploading wages.

Management is incredibly disorganized and lack leadership skills.  Frustrating place to work when manager is chaotic and hysterical.  Little to no training provided.  Lack of or erroneous information given by management, often.  Communication is terribly inadequate!!

Ultimately, days are spent putting out fires and dealing with upset clients because CoAdvantage is unable to fulfill their service.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The relationship with coworkers and managers. Benefits are good. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Tax season with all forms needed to go out. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Business casual and great moral support 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering emails and running payroll all day
