Pros & Cons

Pros

✓

Midwest and Mid-Atlantic expertise

Deep knowledge of Ohio and surrounding state employment law, workers comp regulations, and compliance requirements that national providers may lack at the local level.

✓

Dedicated HR service model

Clients work with consistent HR professionals who develop deep familiarity with each business rather than being routed through a generic national support system.

✓

Full co-employment coverage

Comprehensive PEO services covering payroll, benefits, HR administration, and compliance support in a single co-employment arrangement.

✓

Regional carrier relationships

Established relationships with insurance carriers in Midwest markets provide competitive benefits access for businesses in their coverage area.

−

Cons

−

Regional footprint

Sequent is strongest in Ohio and the Midwest. Businesses with significant operations outside their core coverage area may find national PEOs better suited.

−

Smaller benefit pool

Regional scale means a smaller employee pool than national PEOs, which can affect competitiveness on certain health insurance plan pricing.
