Paylocity Response

I’m really disappointed that this is your experience, it’s clearly not what I intend for Paylocity, and definitely not for my own team. I see that this isn’t the first time you’ve posted based on what I’ve read earlier this year, which means your experience hasn’t improved. Believe me when I say that I appreciate you providing feedback via this forum; however, I also hope that you can be comfortable reaching out to me directly to address your concerns. My door is always open to you and everyone else because I believe in productive dialog and that all voices should be heard. Over the past couple of months I’ve spoken to everyone on the TA team either individually or in small groups to solicit feedback. It was these discussions that lead to recent changes in our incentive structure, workload distribution, staffing levels and TA bi-weekly townhall agendas. I will reiterate what I’ve shared with my entire team on many occasions…if you have concerns and you don’t believe you’re able to be successful, I want to hear about it, and I want to help. Please reach out to me. Regarding my leadership team...there’s no doubt that we believe employee referrals is a great way to find talented team members. In fact, we have approximately 30% of all PCTY hires to thank employees for referring. My team is no different and I’m proud that I’ve had 4 leaders who wanted to work with me again…which makes up about 1/3rd of my leadership team.

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.
