Pros

Company offers great benefits (401k, medical, dental, etc...) and the office looks super nice and updated. Also, fruits, nuts, coffee, tea (things like that).

Cons

I refuse to believe all these 5 stars reviews are real. There is just no way. Pay is not enough for the amount of work you will be doing also you have to think as if you're in some economics class. The job description does not match to the work you actually do. You'll be working from 9am to 6pm (that's pretty much your entire day). I Have never been so embarrassed and discriminated in a job ever like I have here but unfortunately I will not be able to tell my experience because it will be pretty obvious in regards to who I am referring to. From the experience I had I don't think at all they should be hiring this much people, I believe the reason they are hiring is because their current employees (especially account managers and implementations) spend WAY way way too much time hanging out, talking, and just chatting around, then there's done.

Don’t forget about the Bevi machines for fizzy water! Look, we’re in the same boat, we want all the reviews here to be genuine and authentic because we want people to know what they’re signing up for if they join the Paylocity team. As important as it is for us to offer awesome benefits and perks – it's far more important that we give people a true and honest picture of what it’s like to be at Paylocity, day in and day out, the good and the bad. From your feedback, it sounds like we have good managers and bad managers, which is expected to a certain extent. While we understand that it’s impossible for everyone to be perfect, we have high expectations for our managers and leaders because we know the impact they have on their teams. That's why we’ve always invested in, and will continue to invest in, leadership and manager training to make sure they’re doing the right things and supporting their teams to the best of their abilities. We also have a lot of first-time managers who started their careers with Paylocity and eventually were promoted into leadership roles – so that’s another reason why management development is always top of mind for us. However most importantly – we have zero tolerance when it comes to discrimination. We all know the value of having a diverse workforce – but far beyond that we value having an inclusive workforce. If you’re willing to offer more details and context around what, and who, you’re referring to, it would go a long way in helping us prevent anyone else from feeling uncomfortable. If it would be obvious who you’re referring to, even better, it’ll only help us get better, and we would really appreciate it. If you want to talk, please reach out to lmccammond@paylocity.com.

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.
