Pros

There are talented, hardworking people at the lower and mid levels who genuinely care about doing good work. Some managers try to support their teams, but they are the exception, not the rule.

Cons

Leadership is obsessed with stock price and short-term Wall Street gains, not employees. Toby is ruthless, uninspiring, and brings no vision. His entire strategy is just copying Paychex’s playbook. Andy is the same, offering no imagination or originality. Pay for performance is a joke, used as an excuse to avoid giving raises. Misogyny is rampant. Women in leadership are expected to follow orders, not think independently, and if you are a woman with an opinion you will not last. Compassion, empathy, or humanity are not valued at this company. The culture has become soulless, and it feels inevitable that PCTY will be sold off in a few years.

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.
