Pros

The benefits are great, and the people are nice to be around and to work with. They are flexible with schedules, and fairly accomodating of family/work balance.

Cons

We are evaluated on a bell curve. So many people are expected to be at a level 1 (the worst), and so many at a level 5 (the best), with steps in between. Most people fall at a 3 (meets expectations). If there are only two spots for a 5, and you really worked to get a 5, you may (and probably won't) get a 5 because you can't control how others do their job. There may be others that are doing better. So even if you're putting in 200%. If someone else is putting in 201% they would get the 5 over you, even if you both deserve it.

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
