Across 43 customer source records for ADP, this run documents 3 switching triggers and 1 named destination.

What pushes customers out

Ordered by how much evidence sits behind each one, strongest first.

1. 1

   Slow and inconsistent support

   Tax and compliance questions can take days to resolve, while general calls may move customers between representatives without context. The issue is most consequential during HR emergencies or when an assigned specialist is needed but does not respond promptly.

2. 2

   Renewal price increases

   Some customers mention high fees and renewal hikes, creating uncertainty about ongoing costs. This tends to surface at renewal, when customers assess whether pricing remains workable alongside service concerns.

3. 3

   Difficult interface navigation

   Finding reports and completing basic tasks can require too many clicks in a cluttered interface. Friction can increase after updates move features without enough guidance, leaving customers dependent on support for routine work.

Where they go

Customers name Prestige as a destination when support and pricing frustrations reach a breaking point. They seek alternative PEO arrangements associated with more transparent pricing, better interface design, and dedicated support representatives.

What customers hit before they leave
