Pros

Fair benefits, good products and tools.

Cons

I have been with Paylocity for a long time and the last 6 months has been a complete shift in management style, culture, values and workload. The new leader in Operations is completely out of touch with the workforce. It is very clear that they don't care about employees or keeping what made Paylocity such a wonderful place to work. Workload has become unreasonable and leaders keep asking to do more and get faster. Employees are unhappy which makes our customers unhappy too. Every email, phone call I shudder, knowing I’m going to get gutted by either a customer or my boss. More than 2/3 of my peers are looking for jobs outside of Paylocity, not just in my department but across the org. I can guarantee that in 1 year more than half the workforce will be new.

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.
