Pros

Very easy to get a job. Interview process was very easy. Very casual dress code. Expanding very rapidly

Cons

Very dishonest. Told me that my pay reflected a decade of experience. First week I found out that they were paying people with no experience same money. Tried to sell employees on high deductible insurance--saves company money. Entire company is great for 25 year olds including company softball games and ping pong tables. Company meetings are at bars. An employee that was fired from ADP because of immaturity has thrived at Paylocity. Anyone with professional standards will not be happy.

I am sorry Paylocity did not end up being your long-term home. Our casual "work hard play hard" environment is part of what has earned us numerous Best Places to Work awards, but we truly hope you are in role and company better suited for your career goals.

Pros

Great culture and people. Good work/life balance (they don't work you to death), tons of opportunities to move around and work on different products and technologies

Cons

Pay is about the middle of the road, can be difficult being remote (left on an island), promotions and career path could be more well defined

Pros

I joined Paylocity right before we went public and it's been a whirlwind of exciting opportunities since then. I've worked in technology for most of my career. Although focused on payroll and human capital management, Paylocity really is a technology company. We move fast, work hard, share ideas and look for results. If you make a mistake just own up to it and everyone moves on. It's a hands on, every person matters, we are going where no one has before, kind of energy. The culture is relaxed. Casual dress, lots of joking and mini department parties all the time. Remote employees engage in a variety of ways - management is very cognizant of ensuring all employees feel included and have the right tools to participate. The people are fantastic - from the front office to the executive suite. Kind, approachable and committed individuals with very few exceptions. Benefits are decent to very good. There is an employee stock purchase plan that is excellent.

Cons

There are of course some growing pains, but management is aware and dealing with them. The time off policy could be better, but many roles are so flexible that it's not a deal breaker.
