      Pros

      Remote work, getting to network and work with local businesses was very cool. Some great colleagues.

      Cons

      The sales leaders I experienced here are not true leaders, they are managers. They are there to manage your activity and ask about revenue. They can't sell the product themselves (which is getting harder and harder to differentiate from competitors on the market) but expect to be on calls. Upper management looked the other way when multiple complaints were filed against a director in my region. Money only made if you sell a ridiculous amount, otherwise OTE is below market. Not sustainable long term. The base salary is not worth the upfront grind this role requires considering a long ramp.

      Pros

      Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

      Pros

      There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

      Cons

      Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
