Pros

I reviewed Paylocity as honestly and thoroughly as I could, having only worked here 4 months at the time of my first review. Since then, much has changed. At that time, I recommended the leadership focus on our culture because so many out-of-industry folks had been hired, and they listened! We ended up with a new sales process I am honored to use in the field that allows those with and without industry experience to tell the Paylocity story in a compelling way. So, what can I say about Paylocity that hasn't been said? For starters, the compensation is unreal. The leadership remains stellar--the support I have is more than I could ask for. If I have a question at 8pm, my director is there. If I need to roll out early and help my wife with our kids, I shoot a text. Our team is a family. We celebrate wins and help each other through losses, personally and professionally. Finally, our place in the HCM space is unrivaled. Our developers rock! They listen to us and to clients, and we continue to lead the industry with technology. You should see the high-5s I get in demos on a weekly basis. I'll be here till I retire or they kick me out!

Cons

Still can't think of many. The bad leaders have been weeded out, the sales process is flawless--I work for the best employer in technology, hands down. I will say you have to adapt. I've learned 2 completely different sales processes, 2 ways of doing client paperwork, 5 new ancillary products, etc. in 14 months. I love that sort of stuff, but realize many people are change-averse. Also, you can't be lazy...not a con, just good to point out this isn't the 25 hour a week sales job you may have come from. You will be held accountable for lack of activity.

Pros

Paylocity invests heavily in the development of our application. Deployment of enhancements happens at a minimum every 90 days. As a sales rep, that means I have more feature/functionality to talk about all the time! Because of the constant deployment of "a better tool box", the divide between Paylocity and our competitors functionality gets bigger and bigger. The best income opportunity hands down in the industry. 30% of our business is referred. We have an established well-respected brand. The most amazing NSS team booking apts for sales reps constantly.

Cons

Activity expectations are high and managed on a weekly basis. This is a Pro for Paylocity's success. But if you have come from a sales job without this kind of weekly activity analysis- it is definitely an adjustment. Paylocity has gotten more out of me from an activity and sales achievement than any other company because of the focus management places on activity metrics.

Pros

Hands down the best payroll/HCM technology for the mid to major market with constant updates and a clear vision for the future. We are supported by the most friendly and helpful service team. This company has an all for one and one for all mentality.

Cons

Not enough ADP or Paychex clients to sell to.
