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.

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.
