Pros

The pay is decent if you are a Client Service Representative you will start out at $14.00 and if you are an Account Manager you will make $16.00. The benefits are good in their Arlington Heights location, but their Florida location only gets to choose a PPO plan versus getting a really good HMO plan. The supply catered lunch during the busiest time of the year.

Cons

Their management is not very diverse. The company has a poor internal escalation system. Everything gets escalated without a filter of importance. Some of the companies hire unqualified payroll specialist, and they will call you daily to request help on how to do their job. Management has a under the table policy, which means get it done regardless of HOW it gets done. Management has an NPS scoring for their clients that ask their clients one question, and that score directly affects the Client Service Representative, and the question only talks about the company. Management makes you feel as if your real job in the company is to be the scapegoat for BUGS in their product.

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.
