Pros

Work/Life Balance Virtual Environment Talented Development Team

Cons

Solution has a very niche market based on capabilities and where it falls in development life cycle. Inability to make commitments to prospects regarding implementation timelines. Small territories due to niche solution...in the 300-500 ee segment sales close rates are averaging in the 5-10% range nationwide. Overall territory counts on avg. are 150 accounts of which 40-50% are not good fits due to a vast myriad of reasons. Solutions Consultant leadership are quick to be disengaged in opportunities to keep their #'s looking good than to be collaborative towards working towards a viable solution offering. Comp structure has changed 3 times in the last year and a half. Implementation does not count towards quota retirement and is paid a commission of less than 2% to sales. A number of senior level management changes in the last 10 years...too many to count. Incompetent Middle Management.

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
