Pros

Great peers. A good place to work before COVID. Some depts treat their employees right--too few. If only management would practice what they preach.

Cons

Where to even start. Toxic leadership, fear based culture, low pay. Arbitrary in-office requirements, no W/L balance. Managers don't listen, promote based on favorites, and get rewarded for incompetence. 1/10 sales teams are good. the rest are caricatures.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We strive to ensure that we foster an inclusive environment for all here at Paylocity. We have recently revamped the leadership training for all across the organization to ensure that leaders are equipped and prepared to support their teams. We strongly encourage employees to escalate concerns to their HRBP for support and to bring awareness to a given situation.

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.
