Pros

None, none, none, none and none. (had to have a minimum of 5 words in this section).

Cons

Now it is all about money! Labor is being transferred to the Philippines and Mauritius, No matter what US employees do it is never good enough. People are getting fired to save money. One employee may have to do the job of 3 individuals with no additional pay. If you want to grow within the company Ceridian doesn't look at qualifications or job performance. Promotions are done based on what director you are sucking up to or what manager is your relative. There is a local director who has created positions such as "Incident Manager" to place her personal friends and family friends. In case you want to know, at Ceridian an incident manager is an employee who takes 3 hours lunches and goes shopping for hours with the director who gave him this job. All the "awards" Ceridian claims they have won, like best place to work, are not true. The values this company represented in the past have disappeared. What a shame.

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
