      Raises are a joke

      Pros

      Benefits and 401k are good. They also have employee stock options. Work from home flexibility.

      Cons

      I have been with Paylocity for 9 years and I’ve had enough with the politics. Raises are horrible. If you do good you’ll maybe get 3%. The way they handle raises is by having a set amount for the department. For example, they give management a set rate for each employee. If you have someone who does better than others, you have to take from someone else’s 3%. So if you get 6% that means someone else is getting less than the allotted 3%. The other downside of this model is that they never give raises to retain employees or when an employee requests one outside of compensation cycle. If I didn’t need the insurance I would leave in a heartbeat.

      Paylocity not being employee focused

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They provide healthy snacks everyday and lunch on Thursdays. Their benefits and training are great.

      Cons

      You don’t have set working hours. You will work until you’re off the phone with a customer which can be 10pm and beyond when you’re scheduled to leave at 6pm. Their managers don’t respect employees with families or children. The Account manager role is hard because the training never prepares you for what the client will call about and help doesn’t exist at times. Other positions their look great, my position as Account Manager 1 was awful. I left a week after my 11 week training because they wouldn’t accommodate me leaving at my specified time. Spoke to my manager about my concern and she stated my daughter was my problem and I needed to figure it out. During busy times they cut your lunch by 30 minutes and expect you to be on the phone immediately. They block out November through February for vacations. You have to be at work no matter what those days.

      Pros

      None right now that I can share

      Cons

      I have put so much effort into getting promoted, and feel like I have tried everything. We tend to give the same people promotions several times before others get even one promotion.
