Straightforward Pricing vs Hidden Fees
At Foothold America, we understand that navigating financial complexities can be a hurdle when entering the US market. That’s why we focus on upfront cost transparency. Our transparent pricing structure ensures you see all applicable fees from the start. There are no unexpected charges or hidden costs—just a straightforward breakdown of your expenses.
While competitors may advertise lower introductory rates, looking beyond the headline numbers is essential. User reviews suggest PGC’s pricing might not be as comprehensive as it initially appears. Additional fees for pre-onboarding deposits, payroll costs, setup costs, platform costs, service fees, compliance costs and individual transaction processing can significantly impact your overall expenses. These services may not be included in their advertised monthly payments.

Full-Spectrum HR Support vs. Basic Assistance
Foothold America offers comprehensive HR support that goes beyond basic information. They function as a trusted HR consultant, providing guidance through the complexities of US employment law. Their services cover a wide spectrum of HR needs, including policy development, consultations, and expert assistance for complex situations, ensuring your HR operations are secure.

Streamlined Benefits Management vs. Disconnected Support
Foothold America surpasses simply providing basic benefit details. We transform into your trusted advisor, optimizing the entire process and eliminating the confusion surrounding employee benefits. Our team of internal experts fosters strong relationships with leading insurance carriers. We go beyond answering questions about your retirement plan; we also craft tailored benefit contribution strategies aligned with your unique needs. This guarantees a holistic and compliant plan that equips your US workforce with the ideal benefits package.
In contrast, PGC Group’s approach to employee benefits seems less well-rounded. While they likely offer basic benefit information, in-depth expertise and personalized recommendations may come at an additional cost. This could result in you juggling multiple vendor relationships and navigating intricate insurance matters independently, which can be a substantial time commitment.
