      Great coworkers and benefits, but low pay and stress

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great coworkers, good retirement and health benefits.

      Cons

      Massively underpay, workload increases to a point that cannot be managed as you climb up, no room to grow due to turnover within department.

      Good benefits and nice buildings, but favoritism runs deep

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are good and the buildings are nice

      Cons

      There are clearly favorites and if you arent one of them your concerns or worries dont matter. Layoffs are designed as reorganization

      Not the company it used to be

      Payroll implementation consultant ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

      Cons

      Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
