Pros

Flexibility to work from home Decent pay Good benefits Ok snacks

Cons

Tech leadership mandates everything. It’s almost impossible to get your voice heard and you should walk into every conversation thinking it’s a ‘no’ or ‘you’re wrong’ unless you prove otherwise. Very little appreciation for any accomplishments. Many good people have left and are leaving because of these reasons. Little room for advancement and no structured growth except for those in the ‘yes club’.

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.
