      I’m sorry your experience is not what we want it to be. We try to treat everyone fairly and we do have flexibility in how we handle different situations. I’d encourage you to reach out to your HR business partner to discuss or feel free to reach out to me and let me know how I can help. John

      Pros

      Great People To Work With, Great Location, And Great Benefits

      Cons

      Pushy Managers Manager doesn’t care about employees just their numbers. Scarred to be sick because your manager will fire you or scrutinize you if you do. Work overload is overwhelming at times and stressful.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I’m happy to hear you enjoy your coworkers and some of the perks available to Paylocity employees. I’m disappointed you haven’t had the best experience with your manager and feel you are unable to take time off. I can assure you Paylocity supports employees in using their paid time off. If that has become a challenge for you, I would strongly recommend talking with your HR Business Partner. I’d also welcome a conversation to better understand why you feel work is overwhelming and stressful. Maybe we can come up with some solutions to better the situation? Thanks again for sharing your feedback and feel free to reach out to me directly if you’d like to talk in more detail - Heather

      Great company overall, but tough job with less-than-competitive pay

      Implementation consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Paylocity is a great company overall, and does care for its employees and the client experience. Your coworkers are smart, helpful, and engaged. There is a decent amount of training resources available to you. The offices are modern, and well-equipped. Implementation, specifically has a couple conferences (nationwide) each year, so that all remote and local employees come together to collaborate and get to know eachother. Most managers are caring, and want to find ways to help you succeed and determine a long-term path for you. Some positions offer remote opportunities. Good health benefits, PTO, 401K Match.

      Cons

      Implementation is a VERY tough job. High volume times will force you to work outside of the "8-5" schedule almost everyday if you want to keep up with the workload. This includes working on weekends as well. High volume times also interfere with the holidays and makes this the most stressful time of year. Internal processes are constantly changing, so you have to be extremely proactive in learning new systems, databases, and project management in order to keep up. The pay is NOT competitive, and on the lower end compared to other implementation consultants at other HCM companies. Certain managers do micromanage, so that's something to be aware of. You will advance if you work really hard, and give it 125% year-round, but if you're not that person...then you will stay put indefinitely.

      Thank you for your feedback and review. I am happy to hear that you like so many things about Paylocity. We have experienced a lot of growth at Paylocity and have seen quite a few changes. Working at a growing successful company is an amazing experience, but change is inevitable to ensure we can continue to grow and scale. These growing pains can be difficult and it is certainly something we focus on through improved communication and collaboration. Also due to the nature of our business, our work is cyclical and there are heavier volume times, such as year-end. We know this is a busier time of year, and your manager is here to support you if you need assistance. Thank you for your advice as well. If you have any other suggestions on how we can improve, please reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner. Thank you again for your feedback.
