Vantaggi
Offers an extremely unique position within Human Resources. As a formal HR Manager for a variety of manufacturing companies, working for a PEO has brought on a whole new experience. I personally call it "HR with a customer service flair." To be more specific: not only do I have the opportunity to help a wide variety of employees from a variety of diverse organizations operating within different states. For example, any day may consist of assist employees within the healthcare industry operating in California to representing owners at an unemployment hearing within the realty estate industry operating in Pennsylvania. Or I may draft an employee handbook for one company within the food industry operating in Colorado while while coordinating employee benefit administration within the mortgage industry operating in Utah. Not only is it a pleasure to assist this wide variety of employees; I get truly feel like a business representative for not one...but several (and I mean a lot) business organizations.
Svantaggi
Must be on top of your "A-game." Although not a con; this position requires a lot of research, verification and validation of employment law as you will be exercising your HR expertise across the majority of the US. Feeling as a business representative for our clients (business owners), you have to be 110% accurate in your advisement. This is where the true reward is; learning the unique labor laws per state as you will flex your HR expertise across multiple (if not all) states.
