Pros

Ceridian has a great benefits package and vacation policy. Additionally, the training they give new employee's is bar none one of the best I have ever seen. There is no job shadowing, which needs to be addressed. But the actual training itself is wonderful.

Cons

Middle management is completely driven by the decisions of upper management and hold little to no power. This causes problems when employees want to see change/improvement. Everything has to go through upper management. Additionally, good resources are overworked and under appreciated. 50-60 hour weeks are normal and are almost expected. There is no clear vision for the future at all. They have been operating off the same payroll software engine for the last 30 years.

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
