Pros

Work remote option, training allowance, yearly technical conference. free bananas. free coffee.

Cons

there isn't a single african american in the tech. other minorities are few, no diversity. very few women. when you look at the leadership, its all white males and they dont care. get ready for EEOC. leadership and racism. tech management is full of white males, opportunities to grow professionally limited. leadership changes their mind constantly, and jerk the entire staff around to make up for the fact they dont know technology and cant make a decision. if youre a developer and want to stay a developer, and keep your head down, then this place is great.

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.
