Pros

Remote work life is amazing and great benefits. The company is socially conscious and was doing to good job communicating regularly with employees via executive calls.

Cons

The culture of the company, particularly Implementation had completely changed over the last six months with a new leadership team in place. Paylocity used to be a collaborative environment, and with the company growing so fast we were all used to change. The difference now is, there are few “wins” behind the changes. Decisions are being made from the top and dictated down without any consideration on why they may not work or the reason why things were currently being done. The leadership team that came in already had a horrible reputation for being cold, uncaring, making poor decisions and yet they were promoted to “rule” Implementation and bring in their friends from prior companies to join them in leadership, when there are perfectly amazing managers and employees in the wings looking for development opportunities. Over the last 6 months amazing talent who have worked so hard for the company and their teams have walked out the door. It’s a shame to see such a quick downhill turn, and it was very unfortunate to feel so un-valued and under appreciated.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

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.
