Unlocking Your Dream Career in Payroll: Part One

Ever think payroll could take you around the world—or land you a front-row seat with your favorite sports team? We sit down with Jon Schausten, director of payroll at Group 1001, and Michelle Ganzer, senior payroll manager at REI Co-op, to unpack the career nobody tells you about in college. From precocious beginnings to global system conversions to teaching payroll abroad, Jon and Michelle reveal why this "behind the scenes" job might be one of the most flexible, people-driven careers out there. Part one of a two-part series.
