Pros

The product is great, and I love the service/development teams.

Cons

With the recent change in management over the sales team, culture is out the window. This company feels like Paychex from a management standpoint. Every call is recorded, every hour is tracked, and you will be told if they decide they want your opinion. Otherwise, I've been told in no short terms on a team call to "keep our mouths shut" unless asked. This is not the company that I was hired by 5+ years ago.

Paylocity Response

Hi, and thank you for providing valuable feedback. We are happy to hear you find our product and service to be best in class, as we couldn't agree more. Our culture is extremely important to us, and we are consistently developing and implementing changes to drive success and employee engagement. I am disappointed that you don't feel your feedback is welcomed. Changes due to feedback are a large part of our culture and have driven much of our success over the years. We do not take these concerns lightly, and will continue to survey our teams, and dive deep into the culture of the sales organization. I would love to talk more in depth if you are open to it. You can reach me at KGrimaldi@Paylocity.com, thanks! -Kate Grimaldi

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.
