Pros

Not man, this may be one of the most negligent and toxic executive leadership teams i have ever had the displeasure of working for.

Cons

the sad truth is this wasnt always the case. Paylocity used to be a fantastic company with great people and spectacular technology unfortunately. unfortunately the transition from Steve to toby has been reflected with Employees from coast to coast leaving this sinking ship. they will lie about earning potential. they will promise advancements and "organic growth" while they funnel in their friends from the competitors we prided ourselves on not being like.

Problematic Leadership is Rewarded

Pros

Hardworking, well intentioned and collaborative independent contributors. A few leaders are top notch, but they aren't given autonomy.

Cons

Leadership in Operations and Product plays favorites, blames others and expects perfection. No longer the company that demonstrated genuine concern for people.
