Pros

Great product. A few incredible people still try to hold it together.

Cons

This company is toxic from the top down. Leaders gaslight, manipulate, undermine frontline leaders, and talk about you to your reps. HR exists to protect senior/2nd-line leaders - not to help employees. Favoritism, politics, and cover-ups are rewarded; integrity and hard work are crushed. I gave Paylocity everything - my time, my energy, my loyalty - and left burned, demoralized, and mistrustful. It will take me a long time to recover.
