Pros

Adequate training. Decent Pay. Great Customers. Potential Career Opportunities.

Cons

The department is run by a tyrant. Constantly harassed and belittled employees. Constant complaining about individuals. If you requested a sick day, you'll be harassed and told you'll be sent to HR. The reason I left is that we were forced to "alter" our hours spent working with customers in order to keep our jobs. Customers were charged money for additional hours spent on a project. Sometimes we'd be swamped and work 60-hour weeks, however during the early weeks of a new quarter, work would be slow. If our weekly work hours didn't equal 40, we were at risk of losing our jobs. We were obligated to charge customers extra hours/money so our work hours could reach 40. From large Enterprise Customers to small Mom and Pop shops hundreds to thousands of dollars. It made us feel terrible!! But this is what the team was instructed to do. From charging customers extra money to being harassed daily by management, it felt like I was walking on eggshells for months and had to take sleeping pills as I loathed coming to work. I actually had a mental breakdown and couldn't work for months.

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
