Pros

Great peers. A good place to work before COVID. Some depts treat their employees right--too few. If only management would practice what they preach.

Cons

Where to even start. Toxic leadership, fear based culture, low pay. Arbitrary in-office requirements, no W/L balance. Managers don't listen, promote based on favorites, and get rewarded for incompetence. 1/10 sales teams are good. the rest are caricatures.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We strive to ensure that we foster an inclusive environment for all here at Paylocity. We have recently revamped the leadership training for all across the organization to ensure that leaders are equipped and prepared to support their teams. We strongly encourage employees to escalate concerns to their HRBP for support and to bring awareness to a given situation.

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

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
