Pros

The people, at their core, are very kind and you can tell they want to do their best work. Most of them are truly burnt out and working in a culture of fear right now, but that is mostly the company environment and not indicative of the Marketing department. That poison is everywhere.

Cons

cliquey and immature support teams: never in my entire career have I heard the words "i don't know" and "it could be" so many times.. without a single follow-up or interest in the team who is responsible actually going to find out the reasons why there are issues, errors, etc. zero follow-up: still waiting on a request for data from the Analytics team that I requested over a year ago. and that is just one of the few I haven't given up on yet. I assume I will wait forever and not one member of the team will provide any data. It's frustrating and makes it impossible for anyone to truly understand the impact of their work and where they are headed. Do better. toby is in charge: why in the world would it be ok to put a CFO bro in the place of the CEO chair? Not a coincidence that when Steve left, the company went to complete garbage. Now there are talks of striking, unionization, and just replacing jobs overseas at a lower cost. Paylocity doesn't care about their employees.

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.
