Pros

Coffee machine, lots of swag, pay, free snacks

Cons

They do not offer adequate training to their employees. The workload is insane and you have to work OT just to keep up. There is no time to continue to train you on what you really need to know once you are out there so clients get upset with you. You are on hold with clients trying to help them looking for someone to help you. You also have to answer emails that are sent to you but only have one hour to do that a day. Micromanaged down to the minute-you only get 5 minutes a day to go to the bathroom and have to work through your lunch and break so you do not get behind and in trouble for letting emails get behind. They send you trainings on how not to be stressed but there is no time to watch them!!!!

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We’re happy to share that we have recently revamped our new hire training for employees to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for all. We encourage our AM’s to partner with their leaders if ever feeling overwhelmed so that help or guidance can be provided. During training, AM’s are also introduced to resources to leverage after training such as zoom hotlines/leadership lines for questions, PEAK, and mentors. We also strongly encourage employees to speak to their manager about unwanted overtime as well as encourage employees to use their PTO to rest and recharge.

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirited company and growing

Cons

This company is not diverse and despite their plan to increase diversity, they are not truly committed to it because they continue to hire the same people in sales and upper management (caucasion)

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and concerns. We are actively hiring in all areas of the business and our DEI efforts continue to be top of mind. We’re happy to share that we believe in full transparency, especially around our DEI efforts and have shared the 2021 employee data both internally and externally. You can find our employee gender, race, and ethnicity representation on Paylocity.com under Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We are proud of the progress made so far but know there is much work still to be done.

Horrible

Pros

Decent pay and time off

Cons

Coming from another payroll company as an account manager this place is awful. You don't actually mange accounts. You spend most of your day in a phone que which they neglected to mention during the interview process. The calls are non stop all day and your own clients can't get a hold of you. This is a call center job that they disguise as account manager. Please don't be fooled, this was the worst decision I have made.Not to mention there was no training that actually apples to the job.

We appreciate you voicing your thoughts and concerns. We do put a lot of time and consideration into our training for Account Manager to set them up for success in their role, including a scenario-based learning approach incorporating knowledge checks and check points along the way. We strongly suggest leveraging zoom hotlines/leadership lines for questions, PEAK, and mentors after completing training for support with any questions along the way. Please do not hesitate to also speak with your manager directly for added support. We want to ensure that you are confident and equipped to successfully assist with client needs and have a positive experience at Paylocity.
