Pros

mostly stable company with nice offices

Cons

literally everything else. Instituting a full return to office policy for sales teams. Shift in philosophy to caring only about daily KPIs instead of actual pipeline generation and closed business. No freedom to do things your way. It’s very “our way or the highway” even if you are at 100-150% of quota for months on end.

Pros

Company has continued to grow steadily, with the growth comes new opportunities.

Cons

Some re-orgs and changes internally can create disruption, but that's common for companies of this size / not unique to Paylocity.
