Pros

- Benefits are great - Stock price remains high - The people you work with are some of the best people I've been able to work with

Cons

- Despite what Paylocity touts, the number of women in management within the Tech org is VERY small -- and they had a huge number of women leaders leave in 2022. If this is important to you, I'd ask for % of women who are in leadership positions in P&T. - Promoting as an EM is vague and not defined - Leadership is happy to de-promote leaders if they bring up pay disparity issues

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.
