      immature, childish and hostile environment

      Marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people, at their core, are very kind and you can tell they want to do their best work. Most of them are truly burnt out and working in a culture of fear right now, but that is mostly the company environment and not indicative of the Marketing department. That poison is everywhere.

      Cons

      cliquey and immature support teams: never in my entire career have I heard the words "i don't know" and "it could be" so many times.. without a single follow-up or interest in the team who is responsible actually going to find out the reasons why there are issues, errors, etc. zero follow-up: still waiting on a request for data from the Analytics team that I requested over a year ago. and that is just one of the few I haven't given up on yet. I assume I will wait forever and not one member of the team will provide any data. It's frustrating and makes it impossible for anyone to truly understand the impact of their work and where they are headed. Do better. toby is in charge: why in the world would it be ok to put a CFO bro in the place of the CEO chair? Not a coincidence that when Steve left, the company went to complete garbage. Now there are talks of striking, unionization, and just replacing jobs overseas at a lower cost. Paylocity doesn't care about their employees.

      Started as a company I saw myself moving up in, and ended as a company I completely despised

      Business development representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - SENSATIONAL Work Life Balance!

      Cons

      - CEO - Pay - C-Level - Frat Environment - Higher ups are 'do you know who I am' type - Its not able how well you do its about who you know, and how willing to are to suck up to them. - NO OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE UP, they would rather hire outside reps with no understanding of the company and the inner-workings of Paylocity. - Dont like to give opportunities to their current staff. - There is way to many things to name, but overall the low pay (lowest in the HCM industry), Leadership, and Lack of Resources for movement within company make this a one star company to me.
