Pros

Work from home capability Amazing colleagues in the services teams

Cons

Leadership has pushed new implementation changes that do not work from a fundamental consulting and implementation standpoint. Implementation delivery sponsorship team that pushes these changes, do not adher to the changes. This services leadership team will not have the necessary conversations with the clients, setting up the services consulting team up for trouble down the road. This has been a repeating pattern for the last 2 years since the company has gone public. In addition to a very unreasonable workload that leads to extreme stress, consultants are forced to be the face of the inevitable confusion, frustration, ire, and anger from the customers. Leadership members make poorly thought decisions and leave it to their consultants to own up to them. Most implementation teams cannot rely on their leaders to step in and have difficult conversations with customers and also upper Ceridian leadership. What is upsetting is that as a well-wisher for this company, as I still believe Dayforce has great potential, these same supposed people of "leadership", have forced great hardworking talented people to pursue other alternatives outside of Ceridian, switch departments and in some extreme cases, go on medical and stress leave for extended periods of time.

Pros

Dayforce is a solid product. It has its issues, but overall is much better than most. There are some great people that work at Ceridian. The compensation is very competitive.

Cons

Over the past 9-12 months, multiple changes at the senior leadership level have led to a more authoritarian style of leadership and a noticeable decrease in retention and overall employee engagement. Square peg leaders have been forced into round holes, and it isn't working. There is little to no collaboration between department leadership, which leads to many issues being kicked from team to team while people try and figure out who is supposed to handle something. There is little to no accountability at the leadership level. The same leaders keep leading the same underperforming teams, year after year. Dayforce is a good product, but is not without fault. It has its quirks, even in the core functionality.

Pros

People other than management

Cons

It is the blind leading the blind Consulting side of the business is driving to make work and life miserable for employees - unreasonable project deadlines - unreasonable work hours 60 plus hours in a week is a norm with no extra perk or benefit - below market compensation and benefits which is an embarassment, people know their worth everyone but Ceridian - great folks are leaving this organization in the numbers weakening this practice - the business model of retaining revenue will drive consultants into the pavement and grind them - upper management within my side of the business appeared to be the most greedy and clueless group looking at only money - charades with fake positive reviews - ALL that glitters is definitely not gold and Ceridian is a lump of coal - If significant changes aren't made people will have another mass exodus like when Moses parted the Red Sea - Have I said, terrible management? I cannot reiterate this enough
