Pros

I will forever miss the friends I made. There were snacks and catered lunches. I built great networking bonds. Looks good on a resume because people don’t know how actually terrible it is to work there.

Cons

Literally everything else. It’s all an illusion. Once you stop drinking their “forward together” BS koolade and look around, you can see how miserable every person is. From the bottom up. It’s extremely demanding. Impossible to move up. Lack of support. Lack of guidance. Fake positivity. Fake leadership. Drama. Backstabbing. It’s really just overall not worth it. I feel like it was only a stepping stone to getting out and finding something better.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear you built lasting connections and a strong network during your time at Paylocity; those relationships are something we truly value. It's unfortunate that the rest of your experience didn’t reflect the culture we strive to create. Feedback like yours is important and helps us continue improving areas like support, growth, and leadership. While our vision of moving forward together is core to who we are, we recognize that your day-to-day experience didn’t reflect that. Thank you again for your honesty. We wish you all the best in your career ahead!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We hear you, and we appreciate the detail and care you put into your feedback. We’re glad to see you highlighted your coworkers; our people truly are what make Paylocity special. We understand that the shift in our in-office policy has been challenging for some. This decision was made thoughtfully, as we believe in-person collaboration strengthens team connections, enhances client experiences, and supports career growth. We also hear your concerns about workload, recognition, and the broader implications of the return-to-office decision. Your ideas around flexibility, hybrid options for AM3 and above, and fully remote roles for certain positions are thoughtful and appreciated. These types of suggestions are the kind of feedback that helps drive internal conversations and informs how we evolve. We remain focused on supporting our teams through this transition and encourage ongoing dialogue. Please continue to share your experiences and ideas with your leader or through the appropriate internal channels. We know our success depends on our people, and your feedback plays an important role in shaping our path forward.
