      Pros

      -There are some great individuals at Paylocity who truly do care

      Cons

      -They want to scale. Great! You can’t scale if you’re not coming together as a cohesive front. The tech team has legacy individuals who are stuck in thinking Paylocity is still a 500 person company and new leadership who tries to shove their ideas down the legacy group’s throats. Instead of working together, they just bicker and nothing gets done. -There are pockets of very rude individuals here that would not be tolerated at many organizations -There is a lot of ‘fluff’ coming from HR. Sit and listen to any of the leadership calls and you can figure out pretty quickly it is not genuine. -Communication is either not funneled down (despite leaders saying it is) or the people below the top couple levels choose to not actually communicate; that results in a great deal of chaos and confusion

      We appreciate your thoughts and feedback! In the spirit of growth fuels opportunity, we are very fortunate to be growing so quickly. We are working to best support our employees and clients throughout this fast-paced environment as we scale. We have also been revamping our internal communication strategy to ensure important information is provided to all employees including leaders in a timely manner and cascaded accordingly. Employee feedback is always encouraged so that we can address areas of opportunity, our recent launch of our monthly feedback survey is used as a tool to help grow and improve on how we can support one another. HR Business Partners are also a great resource to leverage should employees need escalated support at any time.

      Pros

      Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

      Pros

      Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

      Cons

      Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
