    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 5, 2013
    Pros: This is why COBRA is so expensive.
    Cons: Everything - their business model, their call center, and their very existence.

    Summary: It's at least validating to see that a year later nothing has changed with Ceridian. They still don't update insurance companies with current information and blame the employer's HR department for their delays. I can't see a single reason why this ... read more
