Pros

Insane earning potential, tons of flexibility, nice to work with and become part of an important community your local market.

Cons

The technology used internally is terrible. For all we preach to clients about how spreadsheets are bad we are certainly not "drinking our own wine." Be prepared to do the same thing 3-4 times for seemingly no purpose. CRM is terribly dated and poorly built, excel sheet upon excel sheet, and old on-prem Microsoft software that just breaks. Also, it seems Paylocity gets a lot of the superstars from the payroll and HR industry, but certainly some of the rejects as well. A lot of management is new to the organization, and with bad technology and a remote work environment building and creating a team environment is tough. Be prepared to grind hard, often on your own, and have more operational obstacles to clear than there should be for a "technology/software" company.

Hi, and thank you so much for your feedback. We truly appreciate any and all feedback from current and former employees. I am sorry to hear you felt our processes were antiquated. We take great pride in using our own products so we can continuously make them better for our employees and clients. You also mentioned leadership development as an area of focus. Please know we have rolled out an extensive management training program for leaders at every level of their career, and we are confident this training will provide all of our leaders with a core foundation and additional tools to create, build and maintain our Paylocity culture. I personally support the sales organization and am always interested in specific feedback. Please feel free to contact me directly if you wish to share more specific concerns. Thank you for your review. Kate Grimaldi, Human Resources. KGrimaldi@Paylocity.com

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

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
