      Pros

      I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANYTHING POSITIVE WITH THIS COMPANY.

      Cons

      I have never experienced an environment as toxic as Paylocity! Management is biased and they divide employees. They have a bullying culture and do not care about employees' wellbeing. The HR is not there to protect employees; they are there to protect management! It's ironic that this is an HR software company. Management is essentially a cult. They talk in echo-chamber and ignore disagreeing voices. They abuse their power to bully employees and silence them by switching them around and then pressing them to get business outcomes in a short period of time. When you fail, they blame you and said that you do not perform to their expectations. When you do perform by showing hard performance data, they simply brush it off and say that doesn't matter. It is a bullying and hostile environment these people have created. I did not even think that it'd exist in the tech world!

      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.
