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

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
