### "HR Support That Actually Shows Up"

January 6, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with ADP TotalSource has been very positive. The platform delivers a reliable, well-rounded HR solution with simple, dependable payroll processing and strong HR support. The HR Business Partner model adds significant value and provides confidence in handling both routine and complex HR matters. While there are occasional learning curves, particularly within reporting and the available support helps offset those challenges. ADP TotalSource has been a dependable partner that improves efficiency, reduces stress, and supports consistent payroll and HR operations.

Pros

ADP TotalSource has been a great solution thanks to its user-friendly platform, flexible options, easy and reliable payroll processing, and robust reporting capabilities. Payroll is straightforward and efficient, making routine processing smooth and stress-free. The system is easy to navigate overall, which saves time across day-to-day HR tasks. The biggest benefit, however, is the dedicated HR Business Partner that comes with the service. The guidance and support provided are consistently helpful, and I always receive the assistance I need in a timely manner.

Cons

The only challenge I’ve experienced with ADP TotalSource is navigating the reporting section, as the wide variety of reports can make it difficult to quickly locate the specific report I’m looking for, which can occasionally result in wasted time. However, assistance is always available and reaching out for help usually resolves the issue quickly.

### "ADP TotalSource - The solution for small businesses"

October 18, 2025

4.0

Overall, it is a system I would highly recommend. ADP's service and technology is constantly expanding and improving.

Pros

ADP TotalSource is a invaluable resource for a small organizations navigating many of the aspects people employment. ADP TotalSource is a full HR suite in an intuitive system to include payroll support, access to competitive benefits, tax filings, workers' compensation, training resources, applicant tracking system, analytics, reporting, time keeping, and performance management, personnel file management, background checks, and data security with a single sign-on.

Cons

The primary challenge I have seen with ADP TotalSource is that sometimes their support team is limited to assist with matters that can only be moved forward by the account HRBP.

### "ADP does it ALL!"

December 22, 2025

5.0

Overall it has been great. We have had a few bumps in the road and had to change our HRBP a few times, but are happy with our current one.

Pros

There are so many things, but number #1 would be all of the different thing it covers that we no longer have to handle internally (benefits, handbook, training, time clock, recruiting). Very modern technology compared to other platforms we looked at as well!

Cons

That we don't have just one individual trained workers comp person. We have plenty of people to help with questions, but I would like one dedicated trained person for our group.

### "My amazing ADP Team"

January 7, 2026

5.0

Excellent. I couldn't ask for a better support team. From \[sensitive content hidden\] all the way to \[sensitive content hidden\] and my 401k, they are always on top of things.

Pros

The team collaboration - I have gotten into an amazing grove with my support people. They make my life so much easier in every aspect from simple questions to more in depth on how the system works.

Cons

The wait time sometimes is horrible to get through to anyone to help. Especially on payroll days. When I am in panic mode and waiting for over 20 minutes it makes me anxious.

### "Maybe ADP needs to listen to clients and fix problems "

January 8, 2026

2.0

Fair - I have been a ADP total source client for 15 years now. Instead of getting better the overall service went down in quality. I constantly have to audit the work product. Also, due to ADP negligence I have surfaced numerous federal tax errors on government programs...

Pros

Attentiveness to getting the payroll run each period, very strong state tax department, 401K program administration runs well.

Cons

Inability to handle complex matters, large bureaucracy, failure to take responsibility for mistakes, many unresolved issues that just die on the vine and inability to offer competitive benefits

Very Good, nice people to work with. there are a few different options for additional insurance that we have access to.

Pros

Ease of payroll module and the recourses available. The 800 number is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons

the fees are high, and I no longer see a benefit of being part of the ADP Medical insurance. Each year the rates are going up as much as if we were on our own.

### "Reliable HR platform with a learning curve"

February 27, 2026

5.0

my experience is been positive, especially for handling payroll and compliance in one system. It does reduces manual work and keeps all processes consistent, but it also does require little patience to learn. but Once the everything is set up, it work smoothly and supports operations well.

Pros

I used it in my previous as well as current job , ADP brings payroll, benefits, and HR support into one , which makes daily work easy and easy to follow and understand The compliance guidance is helpful and reduces risk of missing important requirements. Once you learn system, it becomes a reliable tool for managing all HR tasks.

Cons

Some parts the platform feel just a little complicated and takes time to understand. Support is a little slow during busy periods

### "Best PEO. They are number 1 for a reason"

September 17, 2025

5.0

Wonderful to work with. Been with them since 2007 so the longevity should show we like this product and are happy with it

Pros

Easy to use. Great reporting system. Best PEO, They are number 1 for a reason! Staff is easy to work with. Some of my reps have remained the same since 2007 like my HRBP

Cons

The cost. Admin fees are high compared to other PEOs. Benefit costs continue to rise despite being told once we were on them for a couple years they would drop. They have never ever dropped. All years but one where they remained the same on renewal seen increases over 5%

I am extremely impressed with the level of support, transparency, and ease of use of the website. \[sensitive content hidden\] is available when we need him and helps us understand our options, enabling us to make informed decisions.

Pros

\[sensitive content hidden\] is a valuable resource to us, not only supporting us with HR topics, but also teaching and supporting us.

Cons

The only issue we have with ADP is how frequently we have issues for staff trying to clock in and out.

### "for 10+ years, ADP works has worked for our small staff"

July 7, 2025

5.0

We have been with ADP for over 20 years, the last 10+ in a PEO relationship. Since the switch, staff is not spending hours researching employee insurance benefits or tracking time in excel spreadsheets. Over the years we have looked at other companies, but none are the complete package that we receive with ADP.

Pros

Not having to worry about finding the best insurance benefits or managing our 401k. The cost of ADP as PEO is less than we would have to pay for an HR/Payroll Specialist.

Cons

EZ labor needs to have more time to enter time. Our HR specialist has changed numerous times over the last 5-6 years.

October 1, 2025

It has been great. Quick responses and make our life easier. Benefit renewal rates have been affordable the last several years. Would recommend them for multi unit franchisees!

Pros

Benefit renewal rates. The Applicant tracking system. Scheduling, PTO and time off. Dedicated HRBP. Help with Safety trainings

Cons

Lack of support from HRBP, however, our group continues to grow and they are only supposed to take on so many co-employers.

I value my partnership with my account manager and she is always in communication and helpful with all of my needs! I feel important and valued!

Pros

I love the partnership I have with my account and payroll managers. They are both very efficient and work with me on all of my needs!

Cons

I would like more benefit options for my employees. I feel like there are limited options. More options focused on health and weightloss is a great option!

Pros

Performance and Speed. Easy to work with, especially when doing more payroll, using more payroll providers, it's easy to find the steps to do.

Cons

After some updates last 2 years, on Mondays it didn't work, so need to contact later on as due to time difference I cannot call for at least 5 hours

My overall experience with ADP TotalSource has been mixed. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of HR services, including payroll management and employee benefits, which are beneficial for businesses looking to outsource these functions. Overall, ADP TotalSource meets many basic needs but has room for improvement in certain areas.

Pros

I’ve had a positive experience with ADP TotalSource, particularly with their PEO support. The team is knowledgeable and quick to respond, which makes handling HR management much easier.

Cons

The interface is user-friendly, but I faced challenges that led to delays in issue resolution. Additionally, while the system provides valuable data insights, there were instances where reports were not as customizable as desired.

I have worked with ADP for over 20 years and was the decision maker for the companies I have worked for in a payroll and benefits solutions. The benefits offered and support for our employees is important to our company culture and ADP has always delivered.

Pros

I like that ADP handles all of our employee benefits and makes us competitive in the marketplace. It goes above our needs and the employee support is also great for our employees.

Cons

I do not love the benefits renewal process as we always get increases, even though we are a very small company.

ADP TotalSource has helped make the day-to-day tasks easier. If you are looking for support in your HR department for a growing business, I recommend ADP TotalSource.

### "Reflections on ADP Services"

July 8, 2025

4.0

Overall, ADP delivers solid service and meets my needs when it comes to payroll and employee benefits. I’ve found the platform reliable and supportive. I’d be glad to continue working with ADP, provided their fees remain stable going forward.

Pros

Personally, I’ve found the platform easy to navigate and incredibly user-friendly. It saves me a lot of time when running payroll, and their customer service has been excellent—most of my questions get resolved promptly when I call. I also appreciate how they keep me informed about changes to laws and regulations, and their support with HR matters has been invaluable, especially when we’ve faced challenges with difficult employee situations.

Cons

For me, the main drawbacks are the payroll costs and the limited benefits options. The plans tend to be pricey, and unfortunately, the premiums have increased year after year. I’d appreciate more choices and better value in that area.

### "ADP TotalSource Customer Experience"

July 2, 2025

5.0

The experience was inconsistent; some aspects were handled well, but the overall quality of service lacked consistency and reliability.

Pros

ADP TotalSource provides a comprehensive, all-in-one platform that streamlines end-to-end HR administration, payroll, compliance, and benefits management, which makes it a robust solution for growing organizations.

Cons

The organization felt highly disjointed, and we did not receive the level of support it promotes to its customers. The implementation and configuration process was riddled with errors, and due to the decentralized structure, where everything funnels through call centers and support cases, there was a clear lack of ownership and accountability for resolving issues.
