Pros

Ceridian USE to be a good place to work. Employees were encouraged to work together in teams and share knowledge across job families. This is not so any more.

Cons

As the economy is getting worse, and the cost of living getting more expensive, Ceridian is laying off employees that are not located in their "Centers of Excellence" (a misnomer to be sure) and no longer allowing employees to work from home. Some employees are sitting in traffic for up to 4 hours per day to commute to their office. Experienced resources are leaving is mass-exodus. Ceridian's idea of work/life balance is they give you the work; it's up to you to balance it with your life. I've been working an average of 60 hour weeks for the last few years and it doesn't look like that will change much. If I don't work that many hours, I don't get my work done, then customers are unhappy and contact my manager who comes back to me and wants to know what happened.

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
