      Awesome Company, Bad Group Management

      Business operations programmer

      Pros

      Overall, this company does a great job treat its employees well. Steve Beauchamp and the other C-Level staff were very transparent in changes organization. They did a phenomenal job handling all the industry changes due to covid - no layoffs and we even had bonuses after the fact because we did well. The company does a ton of ERGs and really knows how to get folks excited about the hype. I worked with multiple departments due to being in operations and nearly every group had a great 'get work done' attitude and still maintained being personable. Benefits were great and the work was always exciting in ways that really accelerated my career portfolio and experience. There were some projects that were extremely demanding of time, but those periods only lasted a few weeks and were maybe once a year.

      Cons

      Ultimately, I left the company because new management took over our group. The culture they brought with them was completely different and it led to over half of our group leaving within the year that they came in. There were a lot of changes requested, which is normal. However, there was extreme lack of communication and decision making that didn't make sense. Projects that were necessary for growth or system stability were shut down without any reason. Newer team members were taken advantage of when the tenured staff advised differently. The team was told to stop following established processes that led to a lot of confusion. There was a lot of passive aggressive recognition given to team members for smaller projects that eclipse those that worked on larger projects. Credit was taken from members that completed the work and given to someone who wasn't involved. One on ones with management were often unprofessional or cancelled at the last minute. Multiple often led to intense heated arguments with some highly unprofessional things said. I was also advised that there would no longer be any career growth for me, because I wasn't willing to blindly follow a deicsion without minimizing impact on business users or the system. I got HR involved later on, but nothing ever became of it.

      Not what was promised

      Implementation project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working remote was really the only highlight

      Cons

      Incompetent management, unrealistic expectations that extended outside working hours in what you should do with your free time that classified under "other duties as assigned". Management even escalated tone of voice during discussion if there was a disagreement and they felt employee wasn't being compliant.

      An Underwhelming Experience, Keep Looking

      Implementation consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most colleagues are friendly and a there is a decent company culture (similar to others in the same industry).

      Cons

      Training is nearly non-existent and there are very little organized resources. If you are the type of person that needs structure, organization and support. Paylocity is probably not the right place for you. Your experience may also depend on who your leadership team is.
