Pros

There are a lot of nice extra extras like snacks, free coffee, they serve you lunch once a week. They run fun events occasionally.

Cons

This company has lost its way. Employees are treated like numbers, not human beings. If you want to get promoted, there's no clearly defined path. Its litterally all about who your manager is, not the quality of your work. Theres blatant favoritism. They micromanage to extreme levels now at the direction of new directors. Ive been with paylocity for almost a decade now, i used to feel valued as an employee, I used to feel pride working here but its totally gone.

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.
