Pros

Throughout my time at Paylocity, I learned a lot and met so many wonderful people.

Cons

The company is putting a huge emphasis on enterprise clients, but the products are NOT ready for large clients at all. This puts stress on implementation and service. Sales overpromises product functionality and then clients find out the products are made for a small to mid market sized company at BEST. I ended up leaving paylocity for a similar position and am being paid 10,000 more a year annually. The pay is not competitive at all (although they will say it is) and I live in an area where the cost of living is less than that of the Chicago suburb headquarters. My manager was great and always there to support me and the team, but my team lead was terrible and extremely unprofessional. I had given feedback on her numerous times and none of it was taken seriously. From all the chatter and complaining I heard while employed with Paylocity, I don’t know how they have so many 5 star reviews.

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

Paylocity has its ups and downs. But overall, I think it's an interesting entry role.

Cons

Every day in office can be draining. Pay can be a bit on the lower end for some.
