Pros

- Oriented towards remote workers (even before Covid) - Leadership really cares for their employees' well-being and seeks to provide people with a work environment they really love being a part of - Very competitive compensation - 6 week parental leave - Highly complex problems to solve, which makes for enjoyable and rewarding work. - I feel like I truly can have an impact on our organization and our product. - People across Paylocity tend to care a lot about doing excellent work and are willing to lend a hand/knowledge.

Cons

- It seems like some teams have people who really love the work we're doing (mine included), and others that are really struggling. So I wonder if the other teams are feeling as empowered and valued as others are. - Chalk it up to years of rapid growth, but our internal processes and technologies we use tend to change often, which makes me feel reluctant to adopt the latest way of doing something.

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

There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

Cons

Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
