      Pros

      - Awesome Benefits. - Great Culture. - Relaxed work environment. - You get what you give.

      Cons

      - Co-workers take advantage of the opportunities given but don't want to give back. - A lot of the account managers worked together at previous jobs, thus, favoritism is a problem. - Individuals in management sleep with lower-level employees which affects team cohesion. - If you perform better than your manager, don't be surprised if they "can't make it happen" in terms of a raise or promotion; the main reason I left.

      Overworked and exhausted

      Pros

      Paylocity has built a great payroll and HR system. I love working with clients and wow them wth the system. The company is always working to improve the system for clients AND employees. Development has created several tools for us which have made our job easier. Working remotely is awesome! I love that Paylocity will hire talent anywhere- not just limited to the areas they have offices. I love my 30 second commute.

      Cons

      Year End. As a payroll company, yes, December and January are busy months. But this year we went beyond busy to completely unmanageable. Every one on my team was stressed to the max and then some. We all worked late into the night every day and full days on weekends (without any extra pay) and still couldn't manage the workload. I would work hard to catch up over the weekend only to be given more clients on Monday to bring me back to where I started. Management doesn't listen when we tell them we are overwhelmed. It is truly hard to enjoy the holidays. There is no work life balance between November and January. This also is a complete disservice to our clients as we do not have enough time to properly set them up as we are so overwhelmed. It really felt like Paylocity chose money over customer service and employee satisfaction. Several ICs quit during this time and I am only imagine how many are prepping their resume.
