Pros

Pay is average: $50k - 65k for new grads. This isn't that great seeing as many new hires have very employable degrees (sciences & engineering). Benefit coverage is pretty standard, 3 month probationary period. Most people are very friendly, lot's of young people. Once a month there is a company lunch, and another day every month is for cake and sweets to celebrate birthday. Both of these events are pretty good. Free pop/snacks (although not any healthy snacks) is a nice addition too.

Cons

The work hours can be quite long. Upper management really doesn't respect their employees and act as if they are lucky to be employed. In actuality, this company is lucky to have such qualified individuals. I've been here 6 months and HR/management has not followed up to find out if I am satisfied. Recruiters will try to convince you that the work is challenging. Not much room to grow either way. Consultants don't gain many useful skills, only very specific knowledge to the Dayforce product. This means, if they find themselves out of a job, they don't have much to show for their time here. Developers will of course get to work with enterprise software, but the coding experience is not very challenging. The other devs are all very smart, but under payed.

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
