Vantaggi

I really love my manager and team. The company culture is great. There really is "limitless" opportunities in commissions and residuals. Product is great and generally considered premier product in the PEO space. Great benefits. $375/month spend card for business expenses.

Svantaggi

I think I got lucky with a great manager and team. I have heard horror stories in other offices, so that is luck of the draw. There are “limitless” opportunities for commissions/residuals but this is a very tough sale and you will find a lot of it is out of you control. Generally we are twice as expensive as our next closest competitor. Corporate doesn’t do much to be competitive on price. Really the only way to make the product less expensive is by taking it out of your own commission/residuals. Company also treats this as if it is a small sales cycle, but in reality it is very long. Corporate barely provides leads and if they do, it goes only to your local senior rep. It almost seems as if their sales strategy is to only feed their senior reps with leads through new sales reps “partnering” with the seniors. It feels a little bit like a pyramid scheme. Upper management is very “what have you done for me lately”, and rarely offer positive feedback when it is warranted.

Vantaggi

*Many sales tools and training provided throughout tenure. *Local management does a great job of taking care of their people and being servant leaders. No one is too busy to talk to you and give advice or guidance. *Unmatched referral program with good sized budget to build relationships and earn prospective business *Attitudes stay professional no matter what and issues are resolved as soon as possible. *Managers are understanding of the ups and downs of sales and will work with their reps to help get them back on track *No pointing fingers, just getting the job done, no matter what the case. *Internal teams have great communication and follow up/through. *Knowledge is openly shared throughout the organization.

Svantaggi

*Salary is a bit on the low end. High stress in trying to meet metrics - even if a sale happens because the length of the sales cycle is so varied that you can't predict when you'll get your next win. (The job is a grind.) *60% of all new business wins come between September and December, making it the most stressful time of the year. *Tenured reps are treated differently and get more sales support such as someone who will do follow up calls and set appointments as well as doing the paperwork for a new prospect to get approved for the PEO model and pricing. *Residuals take 2-3 years to build up to anything significant. *Management will ask you to lower your enrollment fee on a deal to win the business which directly affects your commission. *Insperity takes a percentage of the enrollment fee so if you lower the fee to earn the business, Insperity still gets their cut of the ORIGINAL enrollment fee, making your commission even lower.

Vantaggi

The culture at Insperity is second to none. Very strong PEO service and marketing & service support. Strong income potential for someone who is willing to invest 5+ years building residuals.

Svantaggi

The base salary for the role is below industry norms. While the actual PEO services are world class, the services come at a high premium vs competitors. Because of the lower salaries, many of the BPA's leave for higher salaries.
