Vensure

I am always very honest in all my company reviews, good and bad. I feel that providing the company and the public, and potential applicants with the true facts will assist all parties in making the necessary decisions that will benefit them.

I have known what it is like to have worked for an excellent PEO (Worklogic HR) and then experiencing the acquisition process as we became a part of Vensure. I have seen the growing pains, the learning process, and the organizing, adjusting, improving, and succeeding in the implementation of every necessary change to make a huge impact in how we, as employees, see where we are truly at as a company. 

I have been seriously impressed and proud of all the changes that the company has made to correct any areas where we have fallen short of, for lack of better terms, a 5 star rating. The people here from the top down, are some of the absolute best people I've ever worked with (I have a long work history of over 32 years in multiple industries and over 20 different companies), so I can very easily and accurately judge the quality of the people you would be working with in a company. And let me tell you that I have turned down at least two job offers that paid over $20,000 above my salary, simply because of the quality, collaboration, friendly, fun, supportive, encouraging, and unified group of staff that I get the privilege of working with. I have had to interact and collaborate with executives, leadership in multiple departments, a significant number of staff in different positions on multiple teams, and my direct coworkers, and ALL have been a huge part of the reason why I did not take the two offers. 

Along with that, the other reason was the HUGE opportunity to be a part of a growing company! Sure, you can go work for Amazon or Google or any other already-established organization. The problem is that in so far as growth and you actually taking part in it and making a significant impact in that process, that's null and void. Those companies are set in stone and have everything in place, and they still have many issues and unhappy workers. Vensure, however, has a growing number of employees who are loving their job, their coworkers, their company and everything in between. And the coolest thing in all of it is that I and YOU, can be a part of the actual growth and innovative process of seeing a big company become not just an international organization, but a really fun and exciting place where the work that YOU do, actually DOES make a difference and directly impacts the company and its future! Trust me, the process is amazing. You talk with coworkers about where you dream the company and its departments and teams will one day be, and those dreams have come true! Many times! For these reasons, I can't even consider leaving to any other place. I would be absolutely stupid to do so.

Yes, I am being compensated fairly for the work that I do. Though it could be more competitive in that regard, the excitement, minimal stress, fun and caring people who are completely unified, and the ability to directly see the company be positively affected by what I do day in and day out, is worth thousand of dollars. I have worked for international corporations that pay much more, and guess what...there was backstabbing, competition to get to the top at whatever cost including taking down those you thought were your working partners, there was the fact that such companies pay the executives so much and their worker bees so little, and they could care less how many hours we were pushed to work. Management seems to show up only when something went wrong and you were rarely thanked or appreciated for anything you did, and regardless of whether or not you need or care for that, it tells a lot about a company. They basically tried to overcompensate for their awful practices and treatment by paying more money, but you went home overworked, overwhelmed, stressed out, disappointed, and even the little work-life balance you thought you had left, was tarnished because you went home exhausted and in a bad or sad mood to your family. I don't know about you, but I'd rather go home feeling happy, excited, barely ever stressed, and for some odd reason that I rarely ever experienced at any company, actually looking forward to going to work on a Monday! What?! Who says that? An honest employee who is impressed by how great it is to work here at Vensure. If you are looking at these reviews to find out whether or not you want to work here, I'm here to tell you that the "bad" reviews you see, are very likely rare and individual experiences that may have occurred during the time of growing pains. If you talk to staff in multiple departments, they are more than happy working here, and in fact, that was evidenced by Vensure being awarded as a Great Place to Work by its employees once again! Honestly, look no further. You will be so glad to make a decision to come and work for this company and be part of something exciting and work that never gets old and routine, but something you can be proud of and love.

I worked for this company for over a year and every month got progressively worse. Within 2 months of minimal training, my boss and the entire executive team who I worked closely with quit. Over time, we lost many valuable employees due to constant fluctuations in business hierarchy and poor management, including most of the payroll team. This caused the Client Relations dept to lose many reputable clients; without anyone to process payroll, our clients employees would not get paid and so began the cascading effect of losing clients daily. I did no feel supported by upper management when escalations occurred and did not feel that I had a flexible or sustainable work schedule. It became very apparent in the client relations dept that we had absolutely no control over retention of clients, due to this constant issue across the company.

Based on company decisions, I did not agree with the CEO’s path for the company. It appeared that they were greedy to absorb as many division partners as possible, without first taking the time to ensure that existing employees and departments were staying afloat. The continuous acquisition has caused many hardworking respectful employees to be overworked and underpaid (think 50+ hr weeks). Their culture embodied that of stressful working environments and many executives with fancy titles who seemed to keep getting promoted whilst the lower level employees take the brunt of hard work and no appreciation. I was also not impressed with the company's internal CRM and found that the Sales/Implementation team would sell the client on a CRM that had all the 'bells and whistles' and could do everything. However, once the client was pushed off to the Client Relations manager, the client would be disappointed to hear that the CRM could not do everything that Sales/Implementations had promised. The reporting functionality was tedious, outdated and created a lot of manual work for anyone trying to find simple data to suite the clients requests. 

I left this company because I did not feel comfortable with how clients were treated with regards to payroll/taxes, little to no values across different teams, and overall frustration of the disorganized company. And finally, I was promoted to a senior position and it took 6 months for the executive team and internal payroll processor to give me a raise. No, I did not receive backpay for my additional 6 months of work. At my exit interview, when I expressed all of the above and why I was leaving, the HR person didn’t even seem to care about my concerns; as if they had heard what I was saying many times before.

The company motto is taken from General Patton: “A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.” The problem that Vensure has is that they "violently execute" with little to no plan. How does that translate in the work environment?
It means having a month or even weeks to pull off something that would normally take a full quarter. It means having to break things to get something done and then being blamed when something is broken. It means struggling to report when you don't know what your metrics are. It means "finding the time to educate yourself and level up" when you're working 50-60 hour weeks. It means working in survival mode for months on end.
One good thing about the above culture is that all the employees are trauma-bonded and look to support one another. The managers and VPs really do listen and want to help in any way they can. But everyone is so overstretched that it's never good enough. 
There are many things that can be said about Vensure, but at the end of the day, working here will leave you mentally and emotionally exhausted. 


The good:
My team and my direct manager are amazing and I love working with them! My position is allowed to be fully remote, but I am one of the very few lucky ones. 

The bad:
Vensure uses employee tracking software (ActivTrak) to monitor all activity on employees’ computers. It’s pretty invasive software; it monitors every website employees visit, monitors how much time employees spend on websites, apps, etc., it takes screenshots of employees desktops periodically throughout the day, as well as reporting how “productive” they are, but at least in my case, that data is not always accurate. It’s very demoralizing, anxiety-inducing, and uncomfortable as an employee to know I'm being constantly watched, and for every second of my time to be scrutinized.

Pay raises are very far and few between. I’ve been working here for a year and a half and I haven’t even gotten a cost of living raise. No word from anyone at Vensure as to when or if I’ll ever get any type of pay increase.

Paid holidays are abysmal; you get the absolute barest minimum number of holidays. Paid time off is also pretty low, especially when you realize that there are not separate sick days. Everything is just “PTO”. The PTO accumulation resets every year on July 1st, which is not great for many employees who want to take a vacation in July or August because depending on your role, you may not have enough PTO built back up at that point. 

I worked at Vensure in the Marketing Department and feel it’s important to provide honest feedback based on my experience. One of the most noticeable problems has been the absence of a clear, cohesive strategy when it comes to the marketing department; there is no clear leadership or strategy. The current leadership is only looking to place blame and find fault rather than actually lead; it’s a very toxic environment to work in. Working on campaigns is awful; no one is actually trying to get things launched; rather, they are looking to go in circles and look for problems, that why nothing is ever accomplished. There is no consistent messaging for any brands, feedback is often ignored, confusion is across the brands, and there is never alignment on overall business or department goals. Marketing decisions are often rushed with no clear data behind them. Employees continue to leave this department and the company due to its toxic structure, which is compounded by a confusing leadership organization. Positions seem to be made up, and brand assignments seem to be a guessing game. There is a reason why they are always hiring in this department: because staff is constantly leave because of the department's disorganized structure. Please don't work here it's awful.

Based on my experience in the industry I was allowed to complete my training on my own schedule.  I am learning about the systems and processes.  I am familiar with some of the systems and definitely the PEO process, so it is a matter of learning Vensure's processes and resources. Although there is a commute to the office, I enjoy being in the office with the other employees.  Everyone is very nice and welcoming. Eventually I would like to see a hybrid version of my position with all the proper access. The company benefits are great, and I am excited to take advantage of the perks and incentives the company offers. My manager is fantastic and allows me a laissez faire environment free from micromanaging because of my 26 plus years in PEO. I am also looking forward to any growth opportunity pertinent to my position.  I have only been here a little over a week but so far I am excited to be part of the company.

- A typical workday for me would be to complete assigned tasked, spend time on active projects and end the day with train videos.
- What I have learned so far are the extra tasks to help other department run a little smoother but have not yet been trained to complete the task listed for this position as in the process for the first approval in risk assessment before forwarding to the actual approver.
- So far management has been patient in the training process however we have recently lost a manager which may have cause the delay in the train for the specific work task mentioned above.
- work culture is for the most part friendly and relaxed.
- As far as the hardest part of the job, so far, there has not been a task I could not complete after clear instructions and minimal clarification questions, however because I am new most task still monitor and there have been only a few I have been allowed to complete on my own.
- I would say the most fulfilling part on the job would be when the task I have just learned is complete with no error because it boosts my confidents in my ability to do the job and take on more challenging tasks.

My role is great. But I really made it my own. So that part is great. They prefer everyone works from an office, which is fine for me,  because I operate better that way. But not everyone does. They are not flexible on this. The Chandler office was recently moved into a new, beautiful building. So it's not hard to be here at all. Compensation isn't industry standard for my role, title, or experience, and benefits are high if you are paying for a spouse, family, or children. But the quality of the insurance is awesome. So very much a get-what-you-pay-for situation. I'm not mad at that. The best part about working here is the people. It takes years to build teams like this, and they have. The people that work here are some of the best. Every office/job is going to have ups and downs, but when you really step back and look at it, It's worth it, and it's not so bad. Sure, they are politically involved and kinda old school, but it's getting better. Change doesn't happen overnight. So, weigh your options. I have a job that I love, and work with people that I love. That's all there is to it. 

Vensure took over my employer and made us a “division partner”. Since that day, they have ruined the feeling of the small family setting. You are nothing but a number to them. They want nothing more than to become the biggest private PEO and they will do whatever it takes to get there. They are constantly bringing on new division partners with thousands of clients and worksite employees, but never adding more internal employees to help with the work load. They just have your typical hirings. You are also allowed only one personal item on your desk, like really, that’s what we’re concerned about? Their benefit plan is ATROCIOUS. If you don’t need any of your paycheck left over, than their benefits are perfect for you. The only good thing they have going is their compensation. I mean you have to try and keep your employees somehow with a workplace like this. They always act as if they’re going to take their negative feedback and do something about it to fix things but nothing changes. 

This company thinks it is above the law and can subject its employees to one horrible circumstance after another.  We were forced to endure a horrible construction remodel for months, until I finally had to file an OSHA claim against the company.  OSHA came and forced the company to continue its construction only on the weekends because of the risk of permanent, irreversible hearing loss that all of us were subjected to on a daily basis.  Weeks later, my boss tried to do something immoral and I brought it to my HR department.  They shut her down, but 3 days later, I was terminated in retaliation.  I am currently in litigation against this disgusting company full of loathsome, narcissistic human beings.  Do NOT work here unless you enjoy EXTREMELY low pay, third-world country working conditions, managers who lie as easily as they breathe and a general workplace full of spectacularly inept, under-educated, unqualified idiots trying to run a joke of a company.
