Pros

Good location, easy to get to. Good place to gain experience and get to know the payroll industry. Perfect for entry level or someone looking to learn the software and processes and HR in general.

Cons

Constant battle between Winipeg head office staff and Toronto based staff. Seems to be to much of a who you know and not how good you are place. Lots of long term employee's that spend more time doing office politic games than helping the company work to become better. Seems if you are talented and do a great job you leave. If your into backstabing and office politics as a job this is the place for you. Its amazing how many people in Ceridian have been in the same job/position for over 10 years in some cases over 15.

Pros

Dayforce has a lot of great perks. They are a cutting-edge HCM company and are always innovating. They are 100% remote and are great with work-life balance. Pay and benefits are good, and I would put them slightly above average in both.

Cons

Work can be too siloed at times, and top-down plans are not always communicated as efficiently as they could be.

Pros

I was able to retire. After Dayforce, I was DONE.

Cons

I wouldn't be so quick to leave Paylocity, one disaster, for Dayforce. IF you have been there for 5+ years, you have a good territory. If you're new to the organization, expect uneven playing field and a "junior" quota. I was in HR sales for 30+ years, most of them in true Enterprise when I was hired as a mid-market rep with an unreasonably small patch. They won't tell you this in an interview so ask and then make the hiring manager provide documentation in the form of a territory listing as sadly, they're not honest and you're going to have to verify EVERYTHING you are told. Oh, and the new VP of sales is liked about as much as the last one, which is to say, not loved at all. B
