      Pros

      Class A Corporate America company! +Great Swag - free stuff all the time, they must really care! (Hint: it's just free marketing for the company, and you get taxed on it) +Restricted Stock for over 50% of the company (Hint: it's to cover up the fact that they aren't paying fair market value base pay) +Very inclusivity forward (almost to the point of bullyish) +Many, many departments, which means there's potential to go nearly anywhere your career might want to grow (after 12 successful months in your current position)

      Cons

      Simply put, the company and the culture is not what it used to be. That can't be a shock. No start up turned corporate giant ever will be. What's sad is the company now values money and profit over their employees. If you've followed any companies who have chased greed, the writing is on the wall for Paylocity. Don't take my word for it. Do your due diligence; read reviews and pay attention to the tenure. "No cons so far" are people with less than a year under their belt. Still in their honeymoon phase and have barely been out of training to be in their respective roles long enough to know the day-to-day life. All of the tenure at the company is leaving like a mass exodus because employees are no longer treated with respect or appreciated.

      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

      There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

      Cons

      Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
