Pros

flexible time off, work from home or virtual, nice people to work with, average salary, stock option, good place to relax and retire.

Cons

not a high tech company, using old school Microsoft products, reinventing the wheel all over the place, choosing convenience over best practices. you write so many SQL scripts if you work back end and struggling with poor performing customization of dojo when working front end. often we deal with performance issues of big fat SQL queries or super bad performing complicated dojo UIs. we spend a good amount of time sitting idle waiting for huge solutions to build. Low energy office in general.

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
