Pros

Culture was great, not anymore.

Cons

STAY AWAY FROM NEW EXEC LEADERSHIP. THEY ARE GREEDY AMD DO NOT CARE. Goind this out today: “The CEO, Toby Williams, made 14.7 million in 2023. Target's revenue in 2024 was ~100 billion dollars. Paylocity's was ~6 billion. Target's CEO made 19 million, only 4 million more than Toby, despite Paylocity producing only 6% of Target's revenue. Target's CEO's pay was 0.019% of revenue, while Toby's was 2.45%, meaning Toby make about 129 times more per dollar of revenue than Brian Cornell. Walmart's CEO made 0.004% of each revenue dollar, so Toby makes 612 times more per revenue dollar than the biggest retailer in the entire country, which did 648 billion dollars in 2024.”

Pros

None. There is no good reason to work for Paylocity when compared to the competition. Apply somewhere else if you can.

Cons

High turnover, Poor initial and ongoing training. Low wages and low-ball "merit" increases that don't keep up with inflation. Barely competitive benefit offerings,
