Pros

product, remnants for former culture, collaboration across functions, decent benefits

Cons

Poor choice of leadership in operations and lack of accountability for performance issues after a year in the role. Tolerance for underperforming in sales leader roles. CSuite's narrow view of what good leadership looks like, diversity of thought and constructive dissent not welcome, massive pivot away from empowerment (at vp/director level) and positive employee culture to a micromanaging/punitive one is hurting the customer experience

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.
