DO NOT WORK HERE!

Pros

If you're desperately in need of a job I would recommend working here.

Cons

Paylocity in 2025 is going down hill. From low wages, no bonuses, poor schedule, and change in their WFH policy, you should find another place to work. Management is fully aware of the issues at Paylocity and simply doesn't care. Employees are HIGHLY expendable.

Shareholder value

Pros

The company is fiscally responsible. The work in the trenches has largely unchanged day-to-day. The culture in terms of people working with people remains good and the cross team software development efforts are pretty good. Executives expressing simple appreciation a few months ago in Slack for the managers was very eye catching in a good way.

Cons

Across the board cost reductions that appear intended to enhance shareholder value are not great and have not been recognized beneficially in the stock price past 4-5 years: TechCon, manager onsites, elimimated-cheap team onsites, TechCon, slow hiring replacements, passing along greater healthcare costs, reducing RSUs grants. It’s a lose-lose for employee-shareholders because it’s not affecting the stock in a good way.
