Pros

- Entry Level experience can be acquired - Depending on the team, you'll meet some great people

Cons

Even though I worked remotely for majority of my time at PCTY, I still didn't have a life. Be prepared for long nights, weekends, and then some. In payroll, this is expected from Nov-Jan, but beyond that - it's unacceptable. It's also unacceptable to have more clients than you can count, to be berated for taking time off, and to be disrespected by upper management. Despite having a remarkable work ethic and being a team player, I was destroyed. I was moved from team to team to pick up accounts and fix problems. Sure, that's fine for a few weeks while management gets their ducks in a row. However, to not receive any form of thanks or compensation for the extra work, AND TO HEAR that new hires you're supposed to mentor are making more, was my last straw. Save your time, and your life - don't work here.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We strongly suggest employees discuss their workload with management or their HRBP if employees feel they are not being heard by their leadership teams. At Paylocity, we strongly believe in taking time off to reset and recharge, and we support our employees to do so as needed. In Implementation, we regularly monitor those who are at the cap for vacation accruals to encourage them to take time off. Additionally, we are in the process of assessing any procedures that are in place for employees that would like to take time off so we can ensure the work is covered and employees feel empowered to take their PTO. We are also happy to announce that we have reinstated merit for all eligible employees and have provided eligible employees with a $2,000 bonus for all of their efforts throughout the pandemic. We continue to be transparent and provide fair equity and opportunity for all employees.

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.
