Pros

I am surrounded by co-workers that have a positive attitude, regardless of how our managers behave. The Toronto (ON) location is amazing, within the subway line and Go Train stop.

Cons

Managers are only focused on their results and how much they would benefit from what they assign us to do, pointing blame at employees whenever they make a mistake. Expectations are that you'll work at least 10hr a day, with snacks and pop as retribution. Promotion is awarded based on how close you are to management, and not the effort you put in. A small group of 'kids' are responsable for booking recreational activities to employees, which thus far has failed royally.

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
