Pros

When I first started at Paylocity, you could feel the positive energy as soon as you walked into the door. Teams were happy, engaged, partnering and fun. You could tell the organization was as focused on the employee experience as they were growing the organization. Benefits are good. The buildings are very inviting. People are awesome.

Cons

The landscape at Paylocity is changing. And quickly. Leaders no long see or treat employees as people, but instead as numbers and bottom lines. It appears those that used to be the biggest champions of people and Paylocity are leaving. Also, quickly. Others are either looking or don't have the time to look/interview because of Year End. People are often put down far more than they are praised for their work. The environment has become a sea of micromanagement and poor people leaders. Many people leave the office crying due to stress. Paylocity no longer feels like a "Great Place to Work."

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.
