Buyer Beware - Anonymous employee Paylocity Employee Review

Personally dealt with microaggressions, sexism, sexual harassment, discrimination and racially insensitive comments during my time with the company. Many attempts to go to HR resulted in a brush under the rug and a blank statement of "miscommunication." Gaslighting at its prime even when they say "we do not tolerate discrimination and have a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We strongly encourage employees to bring such behavior to the attention of their HR Business Partner." HR should be renamed to Corporate Resources since they protect the best interest of the company not its employees. Even their DE&I person said that the diversity numbers of the company shouldn't be mentioned as they are abysmal & wouldn't look good. Caution to all PoC, "they are working on diversity" does not translate to much when they did not realize fallacies until months prior of making said statement. Their culture pitch is a con, beware. Best strategy is to smile and nod at everything even if you are not in agreement, otherwise you're labeled as not being a team player and will be blacklisted. Nepotism reigns supreme, are you a part of the brotherhood, welcome aboard, women you need to work 2/3x as hard to prove yourself! Very welcoming of the mansplainers with zero experience in various areas of expertise and loud popular bullies. Want a yearly raise or promotion, continue dreaming! Salary increases, promotions and 401k match were frozen for the pandemic, but the company still had double digit growth, the stock price doubled, and they acquired several companies.Did i mention the huge surge of new hire during that time? Do you love SWAG, thats the best thing you'll get here! Worry not, when you get hired, they will assume you have zero experience prior to working at paylocity regardless of your skills and expertise and will always defer to those who have zero clue. Opportunities may open up, but sorry not for you, only for external applicants or friends of the higher ups, and good luck finding out about the position until its filled. Do you love working hard and BURNOUT for no reward? this is the place for you! Their new pay transparency tool shines even more light on the salary problems. The HR VP makes excuses during company meetings and says that the bands are competitive on a national level (do your research they are not). Hard work goes unrewarded here. Burnout is a huge problem with even the VP of Engineering quitting over burnout. Toxic leadership, fear based culture, low pay, more work than should be expected of any one person should be held responsible even when its not in line with their skillsets/expertise. Management in my experience is demeaning, inappropriate, cliquey and outright power trip.
