Pros

Fully remote work Unlimited PTO

Cons

0% salary increase if hired after 7/1 in a year, meaning new hires don't see an increase until normal COLA/Merit a full cycle later meaning almost 2 years with no increase. Archaic. 401k vesting 3 year hill, archaic and cynical Only one health insurer, who is terrible "normally pays class action lawsuits as a course of business for denying claims they're so awful" United Health. Can't take any PTO because they've been understaffed for years and it's not just at the whim of your manager but each PM on any of 5-10 projects you're staffed on at any given time.. Luckily seem to be trying to fix this by outsourcing labor to Philippines...which doesn't bode well for long-term employment in NAD. Tenured employees are exhausted (but friendly) as they're a very few resources that actually know how to solve the problems, which drives further turnover and lowering of capacity to deliver on product. New folks get absolutely thrown to the wolves, and unsurprisingly, coupled with comp & retirement issues above, don't stay long. Only one awful health insurer, who is United, for almost the whole US.

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
