      Pros

      Not many. There use to be plenty.

      Cons

      This company has lost its direction and has no idea where it’s going. Recruiters consistently oversell the opportunity in sales. Leadership makes changes more often than the wind changes directions. Senior people are leaving because they’re tired of being treated like this is they’re first job out of school.

      Pros

      Modern office but that gets old fast

      Cons

      You will be expected to work well beyond 40 hours for an entry level job. You cannot take vacation 25% of the year. You go to work sick because you will behind so much that it is worse to stay home. It is a chop shop/fool’s gold. They burn you out and replace you. Stay away.

      Pros

      The technology is good. The UI is strong.

      Cons

      Sales territories are NOT created equal. If you are friends with your manager or a member of the “club”, if you can intimidate your manager into a good territory, if you’re manager is your girlfriend, you will be fine. You’ll get a big patch to work. If you’re just an average person, an average rep is all you will ever be! You can’t compete with the special people who have territories two or three times the size of yours. It was the most unfair company I have ever worked for. The idea of a “level playing field” isn’t in Paylocity’s lexicon. When I joined it was a great culture. Those days are over.
