Pros

Great benefits, flexible time off, inclusivity (mostly), diverse team members. Once the team has settled from an unexpected personnel shift, work/life balance resumes. DF is really good at work/life balance.

Cons

The diversity sometimes seems like it is for show. By diversity I mean not only gender and race, but also disability. By the time you get one manager to understand your work style they play "musical managers" and you have to convince a new one that you need to be treated as an individual and not a number. And the layoffs, every February like clockwork, and they are immediate and without warning. It is best to keep your resume warm while working here.

Pros

Dayforce has a lot of great perks. They are a cutting-edge HCM company and are always innovating. They are 100% remote and are great with work-life balance. Pay and benefits are good, and I would put them slightly above average in both.

Cons

Work can be too siloed at times, and top-down plans are not always communicated as efficiently as they could be.

Pros

I was able to retire. After Dayforce, I was DONE.

Cons

I wouldn't be so quick to leave Paylocity, one disaster, for Dayforce. IF you have been there for 5+ years, you have a good territory. If you're new to the organization, expect uneven playing field and a "junior" quota. I was in HR sales for 30+ years, most of them in true Enterprise when I was hired as a mid-market rep with an unreasonably small patch. They won't tell you this in an interview so ask and then make the hiring manager provide documentation in the form of a territory listing as sadly, they're not honest and you're going to have to verify EVERYTHING you are told. Oh, and the new VP of sales is liked about as much as the last one, which is to say, not loved at all. B
