Pros

The pros are mostly in the past. Paylocity was a company that I was proud to be working for. The pros currently are just the benefits package. That’s all for me.

Cons

The cons have started to rear their ugly faces in every day life at Paylocity. Middle management has no idea of what’s going on during the day to day business operations. In addition, the pay transparency that we pride ourselves on is such a useless tool as for most roles, they will keep you at the minimum end of the spectrum regardless of performance. I was OK with the pay as I was hired on as a full time remote employee and now they’ve placed a RTO order for 5 days a week for all operations employees within a 50 mile radius. Paylocity loves to claim to support employee wellbeing, “the future of HR,” and the such, but then they follow suit to literally all corporate policies that employees hate. The CEO drinks his own koolaid too. Don’t forget that one! Last, but not least, the work load is absolutely insane and turnover is high.

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.
