2 Major Reasons To Review Insperity

Blog / PEO Cost Reduction Services

PEOs, PEOs, so many PEOs to choose from. Big, small, you’ve got them all, but which one is the right one for your organization? One of the most well-known ones is Insperity. Formerly known as Administaff until its name change to avoid being confused with a temporary employment agency, Insperity has been in the PEO service game for quite some time now. They remain in strong position against the other top 5 PEOs in the country, but how do they stack up in general?

What Is Good About Insperity

If you want safety in numbers, Insperity has it with one of the largest pools of leased employees out there. They have a fair amount of brand recognition, which doesn’t hurt either. They are also a publicly traded company, so if you want to know how they are tracking financially, that is very easy to find out. With a lot of clout comes a wealth of online information about them as well. There are articles, dozens of review sites and plenty of consumer commentary to go around. Do you want to go through it all and find out for yourself? We didn’t think so. Here is how it broke down when we did our research.

What You Ought To Know Before You Sign Up For Insperity

Being a well-branded organization does garner some clients, there is no doubt about that. For the organization leader who has never taken on the endeavor of going the way of PEO services before, it can be a secure feeling to know that there are lots of others in similar shoes who have elected to use them currently as well. Who could blame them? Insperity offers a wide variety of human resource and business solution options they brand as “Workforce Optimization.” When you are a growing business that is running lean and mean, the idea of optimizing what you have for headcount sounds pretty attractive indeed. If that was all there was to go on before signing up, they’re would be a pretty long line of applicants but once we went on the hunt for reviews, we found some pretty revealing information that may leave you hesitating with your pen to sign. As we poured over the scores of reviews we found from C-level executives, one of the biggest complaints was their confusing fee structure. The primary reason for the confusion was their bundled percentage approach to pricing. It seemed that no one knew what went to taxes, services or payroll in any given billing period. This of course did not go over well as what was expected to be paid per employee and what actually was varied by invoice. Unfortunately, you can’t determine what each employee cost per pay period, which makes determining cost of headcount very difficult to ascertain. One commenter even went so far as to say that even his sales rep didn’t really know until he had added up all the services himself and shared with him what he came up with for his own costs.
