Pros

Benefits are great, good PTO policy (if you can ever find the time to take off)

Cons

The consultants are overworked. Utilization rates are the only priority for management. This creates a culture of not wanting to help your fellow colleagues because any mentoring/training doesn't count towards utilization rates. I had 6 different managers in a year. What kind of organization has that many org changes in a year? They were also not understanding to parents with young children at home during a global pandemic. I had children who were too young to watch themselves and when I walked away from my desk to feed them lunch, my manager calls me and says "I didn't know you were taking time off today". That was when I knew it was time to leave after only a year. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Most people from my round of hiring are no longer with the company as well.

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
