Pros

There is excellent work/life balance. I was able to work with a great team of people and learned a lot. Although I worked remotely, I found myself working directly with people more than I have in office settings. Paylocity has an excellent product and it was great to be a part of it. Senior Management (VP and CEO) were great. Mid management, not so much.

Cons

The statement about people not leaving a company but leaving a boss has never been so true for me. I am sure other managers were better, but within the technology development side, management was quite bad. There was little discussion of true career development nor what the future really had in store.

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

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
