Pros

- SENSATIONAL Work Life Balance!

Cons

- CEO - Pay - C-Level - Frat Environment - Higher ups are 'do you know who I am' type - Its not able how well you do its about who you know, and how willing to are to suck up to them. - NO OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE UP, they would rather hire outside reps with no understanding of the company and the inner-workings of Paylocity. - Dont like to give opportunities to their current staff. - There is way to many things to name, but overall the low pay (lowest in the HCM industry), Leadership, and Lack of Resources for movement within company make this a one star company to me.

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

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.
