Pros

Benefits are great, good PTO policy (if you can ever find the time to take off)

Cons

The consultants are overworked. Utilization rates are the only priority for management. This creates a culture of not wanting to help your fellow colleagues because any mentoring/training doesn't count towards utilization rates. I had 6 different managers in a year. What kind of organization has that many org changes in a year? They were also not understanding to parents with young children at home during a global pandemic. I had children who were too young to watch themselves and when I walked away from my desk to feed them lunch, my manager calls me and says "I didn't know you were taking time off today". That was when I knew it was time to leave after only a year. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Most people from my round of hiring are no longer with the company as well.

Pros

I think Ceridian was once a company that valued it's employees, however that is definitely not felt in the implementation sector. There are some really hard working, great people and if you can get in to the right team I think this could be a great place to work.

Cons

These comments are specific to the Dayforce Large Market Implementation group. If you are solid performer with a strong work ethic, you will be rewarded with unrealistic expectations, being pulled in way too many directions, travel demands made at the last minute. The main leadership of this group wants you to be afraid of them and also maintains a small circle of favorites. It is a very bizarre culture in this group. I cannot stress enough that you will experience A LOT of talk about culture and work life balance but it is truly just that, all talk. Expect to work 55+ hours a week regularly and then questioned by management on why you are charging so many hours. Vacations very frequently need to be cancelled and you are expected to still take calls There is also a huge problem with them not promoting people to Senior level and yet asking those people to mentor new hires who are brought on as senior level consultant.

Pros

Don’t be fooled by the great reviews they incentivize employee for reviews. The benefits are good and they do like to give away gift cards. Also, don’t be fooled by the great salary when you divide it over the hours you work it’s not that great.

Cons

-Terrible management! In Implementation they don’t know how to manage people and like to call people out in meetings for mistakes,errors,and just to embarrass folks. -60-70 hour work weeks every week all year -No actual training on your job, fun company training but not on your actual job -Hard to take PTO because of your workload -They bait and switch customers and it’s your job to deliver the news. -Theonly people who do well in implementation are workaholics with no lives.
