Paylocity reviews

Training was not structured at the end. We had a lot of wasted time in my class doing absolutely nothing or playing games in a classroom when there was things we could have gone over. Training is all about the software. If you do not have a backround in payroll, benefits and HR, you will be running blind. You can navigate the system but will not understand the why's and the hows. It IS a call center. If a client has an immediate need, there will be many times you have no idea what the client is talking about. You will put them on hold hoping a team lead is available, and hoping they will pay attention to you instead of goofing around. Sometimes all of the leads are in "meetings' at once...but u put put the client on hold anyways so u can silently scream before u get back on the call and try to say something of relevance that might make you seem like you know what you are talking about.

As I mentioned above there are a lot of great things when you work out of the Paylocity offices, however the one downside is if you are remote. Paylocity hired a lot of remote employees when they were building their business and they still have a huge remote employee base. Being a remote employee I feel like I am left alone and on an island. The company doesn't do anything (though they tried once briefly) to engage the remote employees. If hired remotely you are given a laptop, docking station and 2 monitors... that's it. I know every remote employee would appreciate something annually to help with their home office. I asked for a new headset and got denied. I asked for a wireless keyboard and got denied. I have since spent over $1000 on my home office and while I would never expect the company to spend that on my office I would appreciate something considering all the perks the employees get. NO they don't allow you to come to the holiday parties, and even if you are in a corporate location you can't bring your spouse. I have been here almost 6 years and the only thing they send remote employees is a Frozen pizza from Lou Manottis at Christmas time. Another con which everyone should be aware of is career development... there is none. I have been a employee for 6 years and a manager for 4. I had been managing people for 2 whole years before I received any type of "management" training. Even after now managing for 4 years I still haven't gone through "Manager II Training". You get lots of responsibility, freedom to do your job, but no career development. However that may change because they are now opening up Tuition Reimbursement.
