Fewer HR features than a dedicated system
You get the plans they offer. We wanted to keep a specific carrier our team liked and could not, and our broker relationship ended. For most small companies that trade is worth it and you should know you are making it.
Pros
Access to large group health plans a small employer cannot buy alone
Cons
You are limited to the benefit plans they offer

Health plans we could never buy alone
The platform is simple enough that I actually keep it current. Every HR system I ran before this decayed because maintaining it was a project. This one takes minutes.

Simple enough that a founder keeps it maintained

It published a price, which nobody else did
I have contacted support at genuinely odd hours and got a competent human quickly, by phone and by Slack. As a founder doing HR at eleven at night after the real work, that availability is not a nice to have.

Compliance in four states stopped being my problem
Payroll runs itself, the 401(k) is integrated, and I have not thought about a tax filing in two years. For a company of our size that is the entire value proposition.

We are nineteen people and we offer health coverage that our candidates recognise from much larger employers. Shopping that on our own we were quoted terribly. Inside the pooled risk it is a different market, and it has directly won us two hires against bigger competitors.

Support answers at eleven at night
Every other PEO we spoke to would not give a number without a discovery call and a proposal. Justworks publishes seventy nine and one hundred and nine per employee on their website. That transparency is why they got our shortlist and eventually our business.

Workers compensation is bundled rather than a separate broker relationship and a separate audit. That removed an annual exercise nobody on our team was qualified to do.

We hired our first employee in a new state on a Tuesday and were compliant there by Wednesday. Doing that ourselves would have been weeks of registration paperwork.

Leaving is a genuine project
We started the process of moving off and it is far more involved than cancelling software, because you are unwinding an employer of record relationship. State registrations have to be re established in your own name, and the timeline runs into months. Budget for it before you sign, not when you leave.
