Pros

The technology is good. The UI is strong.

Cons

Sales territories are NOT created equal. If you are friends with your manager or a member of the “club”, if you can intimidate your manager into a good territory, if you’re manager is your girlfriend, you will be fine. You’ll get a big patch to work. If you’re just an average person, an average rep is all you will ever be! You can’t compete with the special people who have territories two or three times the size of yours. It was the most unfair company I have ever worked for. The idea of a “level playing field” isn’t in Paylocity’s lexicon. When I joined it was a great culture. Those days are over.

Hi, and thank you for sharing your feedback. I am happy to hear you believe in our technology. I am disappointed you feel you weren't given a fair territory. We take great care in selecting territories and ensuring all reps are given the ability to be successful. I am always open to specific feedback and would love to discuss in further detail. I ca be reached at KGrimaldi@paylocity.com -Kate Grimaldi

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.
