Pros & Cons

Pros

✓

Leadership with Big-PEO Experience

PER was founded by an executive who ran finance and HR technology operations at one of the largest PEOs in the country. Clients get the institutional knowledge and operational systems of a major provider delivered through a boutique firm with genuine personal attention.

✓

Exceptional Client Retention

Long-tenured client relationships - including companies that have worked with PER for 10 or more years - reflect a service quality that is difficult to find in larger PEOs where clients cycle through account managers or deal with impersonal support systems.

✓

Florida Market Depth

With over 25 years based in the Orlando market, PER has deep knowledge of Florida workers compensation requirements, DBPR licensing, ACA compliance for Florida employers, and the specific HR dynamics of Central Florida industries.

−

Cons

−

Small Firm Scale

PER is a boutique operation with a smaller employee count than national PEOs. While this drives strong personal service, it may mean more limited benefit plan variety and technology infrastructure compared to providers serving hundreds of thousands of worksite employees.

−

Regional Coverage

Primary market is Florida and the Southeast. Companies with significant workforces in distant states or planning multi-region expansion may find PER less suited to supporting complex multi-state HR administration at scale.

PEO Authority Editorial Note

Professional Employer Resources (PER) was founded in Maitland, Florida by Tina, who previously served as VP and corporate controller for one of the largest PEOs in the US.
