Working at Mangrove Employer Services in Vernon Hills, IL: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Vernon Hills, IL Area

"I'm newer to the Mangrove family but I'm glad I made the decision to move to a small business company. Previously working at a larger company, I felt like just a number but here at Mangrove, I feel like I have control over my own success and I always can go to my manager for guidance or for ideas on how to improve a process. My manager shows her appreciation for the work I do. We have our benefits division here in IL, with a few employees working remotely out of our HQ in Tampa FL. With the exception of a few complainers that don't realize how lucky they are to work here, everyone else works great together and collaborates on how to improve our team. The mgmt team is open to our ideas on how we can grow and become better than our competitors, but we know it can be hard to make those ideas a reality with their heavy workload."

"I've been at Mangrove for a short time but was welcomed like I've been part of the family from the first day I started. My manager empowers me to do my best every day. She is open to ideas and suggestions on how we can improve as a team, what she can do to help me in my role, and how we can improve as a company. I can only speak on behalf of my manager and my team. I know there are a few negative people that find fault in the most petty things. I just try to stay away from them."

"I've worked for Mangrove for a short period but have experienced great leadership and constant recognition/appreciation for the work I do. I have the best manager that is open to our ideas, keeps us informed of our goals, and provides encouragement during stressful times. Best work life balance I have experienced. I would say that this is specific to our department. Others are not as fortunate which causes a lot of unfair complaining from the few negative employees."

"Although there have been some bumps in the road, I enjoy my job."
