Pros

Remote work (work/life balance is great) Great team - Really enjoyed my work Benefits are good Despite having the position eliminated - I was treated fairly with severance and other considerations.

Cons

Preaches culture, but lacks follow through on some values. When I started, I thought Paylocity was the best thing since sliced bread. The culture was refreshing. I loved my department and team. So when my position was eliminated, I was completely blindsided - It was my day off and I was moving to a new city. I got the dreaded phone call about an hour before I started moving that my position had been cut. I was told that it was due to my "performance", I apparently didn't meet the metrics of the position, but in the 1 1/2 years of being in that position, I was never once told in one on one's or performance reviews that my performance was lacking in anyway. I had been promoted twice in the almost 4 years I was there. The entire restructure process for the department felt rushed and handled poorly. Timing couldn't have been worse, making these sweeping/drastic changes at the busiest time of the year is ridiculous.

Pros

Liked the people I worked with

Cons

- completely underpaid - recruiters lied about the commission structure prior to joining. As soon as I got the offer letter they told me that instead of getting paid for the appointments I set, I would only get paid if they ran - Managers for NSS didn’t truly care about their employees. They would be friendly and “helpful” to your face but reach out to other departments and tell them “do not promote him/her” if they didn’t like you. - no transparency -COO left near the end of my tenure and the company started turning into ADP - 3 of my coworkers applied for an inside sales position that WAS POSTED ONLINE, and once they got through the interview process, they told them “sorry, the position isn’t there anymore. But we have this NSS role we think you’d be perfect for”
