Take back control of your HR with BambooHR

Making the right choice for your growing business starts with understanding your options.
 PEOs promise to ease your HR burden. But what do they actually deliver?

  • Lack of control: PEOs control all aspects of your HR, payroll, and benefits, for better or worse.
  • Exponential costs: PEOs often charge a percentage of payroll, raising prices as your company grows.
  • Limited benefits options: PEOs restrict your provider choices regardless of your needs.
  • Stifled growth: PEOs limit your growth strategies, and for companies with 50+ employees, cost more than internal HR.
