Pros

Progressive, ‘unlimited’ Time Off Work, Work/Life Balance

Cons

Can’t take really take vacation or sick days, because you can’t generate revenue while on vacation, bereavement, mandatory training or mentoring new coworkers, participating in administrative meetings & tasks. Heavy focus is on employee utilization which is a moving target, tracked and reported weekly, to hit those targets and administrative duties you work well in excess of 10 + hour days in the US. Excessive layers of management, created an culture of micromanagers that continual finger pointing, & degrading employees, yet have no idea of the how to complete the same task, no knowledge of the details to complete a task or help. If you happen to be brave enough to ask, be prepared for the degrading comments to follow. Culture has significantly declined. Ethics are documented, but not followed. Managers mock and speak negatively about coworkers behind their back. Lack of accountability/responsibility for processes, procedures or applications that are rolled out and turn data into garbage. Customer facing employees are carrying the responsibility of generating the revenue to pay for all the layers of managers, who also get their bonus payments based on employee carrying the load.

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
