Pros

-The TAFW is nice but it was more flexible before Q4/Q1 got restricted. -They actively work on making Year End less hectic for everyone.

Cons

-There's no work culture. The mass layoffs (I'm not impacted) and corporate "fun" virtual meetings are cringe and out of touch to make money and distract you from the next wave of layoffs coming for the incoming recession and to please investors reducing overhead costs. -When you work with other teams it's because they hot potato their escalated issues and expect you to know the answer. This has to go both ways or you will never get anything done and happens to all departments. Management input just makes it messier and they do not contribute anything of value other than verbalize "we need more staffing" type of solutions (but then do layoffs???) or "we can do better." -Bad releases and implementation are a sign that morale is low when trying to keep talent. The product itself is starting to show its age as technology advances Dayforce will perform at the same speed 3 years ago with additional features to capture revenue without refining existing keystone features. There's weekly connectivity issues and zero stability in the product itself making it never-ending.

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
