Pros

Progressive company, great earning potential on the commission side. Didn't lay off workforce during COVID.

Cons

Everything I loved when I started with Paylocity years ago seems to have disappeared. Benefits are just ok. Base salary is not at all competitive in the market. Service and implementation have really gone downhill with the accelerated growth. Culture was incredible when I started, but it took a huge turn about a year ago. But when Haske announced he was leaving and they started bringing in leadership primarily from ADP rather than promoting from within, I read the writing on the wall. I, like many former ADP employees who came to Paylocity, did NOT want to work for ADP again.

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.
