Pros

PTO is decent and co workers..

Cons

Absolute WORST company to work for. management is heartless and tone deaf. Work load is unrealistic and stressful and leaders are no help. Company fires employees for having opinions. Leadership is incompetent and unaware and micromanage employees. Managers micromanage but are unhelpful and lack experience to actually offer an help or support in service roles. Was once a great company but is now a prison that lacks empathy or work life balance. I definitely would NOT suggest working for this company. BIG mistake

Pros

Easy first year and paid training for three weeks

Cons

Paylocity feeds off loyalty to keep employees under paid and only seeks to poach from other companies. Do not expect to grow a career here unless you are okay with big brother breathing down your neck.
