Pros

very good product some good people

Cons

such a poorly run company. Since CO-CEO Leagh Turner whose very underqualified look at her resume banked 125 million in pay/stock shortly before stock tanked which it still is . People will tell you the whole sector is down but Ceridian is down 2X Workday, ADP, UKG etc. Recently found out they charge active employees $62 a year in fees to have a 401k. Ive been in business and using 401ks for 30 years and never seen this. It just speaks to the cheapness and poor decision making at the exec level

Pros

-The TAFW is nice but it was more flexible before Q4/Q1 got restricted. -They actively work on making Year End less hectic for everyone.

Cons

-There's no work culture. The mass layoffs (I'm not impacted) and corporate "fun" virtual meetings are cringe and out of touch to make money and distract you from the next wave of layoffs coming for the incoming recession and to please investors reducing overhead costs. -When you work with other teams it's because they hot potato their escalated issues and expect you to know the answer. This has to go both ways or you will never get anything done and happens to all departments. Management input just makes it messier and they do not contribute anything of value other than verbalize "we need more staffing" type of solutions (but then do layoffs???) or "we can do better." -Bad releases and implementation are a sign that morale is low when trying to keep talent. The product itself is starting to show its age as technology advances Dayforce will perform at the same speed 3 years ago with additional features to capture revenue without refining existing keystone features. There's weekly connectivity issues and zero stability in the product itself making it never-ending.

Pros

Fully remote work Unlimited PTO

Cons

0% salary increase if hired after 7/1 in a year, meaning new hires don't see an increase until normal COLA/Merit a full cycle later meaning almost 2 years with no increase. Archaic. 401k vesting 3 year hill, archaic and cynical Only one health insurer, who is terrible "normally pays class action lawsuits as a course of business for denying claims they're so awful" United Health. Can't take any PTO because they've been understaffed for years and it's not just at the whim of your manager but each PM on any of 5-10 projects you're staffed on at any given time.. Luckily seem to be trying to fix this by outsourcing labor to Philippines...which doesn't bode well for long-term employment in NAD. Tenured employees are exhausted (but friendly) as they're a very few resources that actually know how to solve the problems, which drives further turnover and lowering of capacity to deliver on product. New folks get absolutely thrown to the wolves, and unsurprisingly, coupled with comp & retirement issues above, don't stay long. Only one awful health insurer, who is United, for almost the whole US.
