Toxic work environment

Pros

Poor management, Lack of HR support, Unfair treatment.

Cons

I used to work at Paylocity, and unfortunately, I experienced terrible treatment from the management. When I raised this issue with HR, things only got worse. They accused me of playing the victim, which I found incredibly unfair. I've never encountered such a toxic work environment in my entire career. I wouldn't recommend Paylocity as an employer.

Pros

Quite good benefits and compensation. Nice technologies and big-scale applications. A lot to learn

Cons

Maybe this is by chance, but I was not very lucky with managers. They were micromanaged and put their "I" ahead of the team. Heard something similar from other colleagues

Pros

Recognizes and awards talent of their employees.

Cons

No bonuses offered. Decision-making is slowed down by rigorous and stringent new processes. Leadership is much more focused on following processes than focusing on solutions to address customer concerns and deliver features faster.
