Pros

Nothing noteworthy to write as pros.

Cons

Organization from the top-down is run by people who either don’t have a clue, or simply couldn’t care less about their employees that create all the value they gain from this company. Managers are totally ego driven and high in their own supply. They hire and promote people who either are friendly (with them), will not challenge them and/or the status quo to push forward, and are just there to echo the managers thoughts and not move the needle. Work hard, you get kept down and micromanaged; grifters and freeloaders get cut a break or will not have any expectations placed on them since those who do work are there to pull their weight.

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.
