Pros

Excellent benefits like unlimited PTO, remote-first culture, 100% 401K match, up to 6%, a few good people left, but not many.

Cons

Ceridian is consistently losing top talent because the corporate culture has drastically declined. Sr. leadership and Human Resources leaders are pre-programmed to provide politically correct responses to all questions. The CEO claims that the company is "doing great" when they lost $75.4 million last year. Employees were terminated quietly during a recent "rebalancing workload" layoff when there were open jobs for the same roles within the company simultaneously that had been open for months. The recruiting process is HORRIBLE, both internally and externally. Be prepared to WAIT a very long time for responses if you're not ghosted. Once a job requisition is approved, it takes weeks just to get a Recruiter assigned to it and then there's no sense of urgency to fill the openings, so many teams are left short-staffed. Managers have low annual bonuses due to the fact that half of the bonus is comprised of worthless company stock.

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
