Pros

Dayforce is a solid product. It has its issues, but overall is much better than most. There are some great people that work at Ceridian. The compensation is very competitive.

Cons

Over the past 9-12 months, multiple changes at the senior leadership level have led to a more authoritarian style of leadership and a noticeable decrease in retention and overall employee engagement. Square peg leaders have been forced into round holes, and it isn't working. There is little to no collaboration between department leadership, which leads to many issues being kicked from team to team while people try and figure out who is supposed to handle something. There is little to no accountability at the leadership level. The same leaders keep leading the same underperforming teams, year after year. Dayforce is a good product, but is not without fault. It has its quirks, even in the core functionality.

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
