Pros

Paylocity really has a great product, it impresses and delivers on what is promised. The corporate office is really nice and looks to provide a unique culture.

Cons

Need Salesforce!! We sell that manual processes don’t make sense, yet we won’t take our advice and invest in better technology. Sales processes are tracked on spreadsheets. The fact that a public company is using a free crm speaks a lot into the pushed culture. Salespeople are encouraged to do what they are told and don’t stray from the paylocity method. I’m so discouraged that this company has the culture of Paychex. Head down and do what you are told. 8 hours of Telemarketing is forced and recorded for new reps with no exceptions. I don’t think this company is the one the founder had in mind

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
