Pros

Close to home and easy commute. Great first job because you can learn and then move on without any regrets. Best to have your worst job at the beginning of your career than in the middle or at the end.

Cons

No accountability. Yearly projects are yearly duds; we have done Fish and Six Sigma and now we are Making Great Happen. Promises anything to get a customer with antique systems and processes. Values hiring exceptional employees but has a performance rating system that uses the bell curve and rates most employees as basic or successful. Annual merit increases are based on performance and bonuses are based on subjective management attitudes.

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
