Pros

- generous commission structure - fully remote - work/life balance

Cons

Paylocity has changed immensely over the past several years. Executives are thirsty to grow and grow fast. Territory compression has made it near impossible to make decent money. Base salary is no where near competitive for industry. Same base regardless of geography, success or tenure. I’ve seen this materialize in low caliber talent coming into the organization the past couple of years and high attrition due to territory compression. Unless you’re coming in to an established territory with strong referring partners and large label count, expect dismal total compensation. Less than 5% of sales reps at this point in time have an opportunity to make decent money. Unfortunately Paylocity lacks brand recognition and falls short in tech stack sophistication. 4-5 years ago it was a different story but PCTY has not been able to keep up. Worst point being, PCTY had tarnished their reputation due to inadequate implementation and service management and is continuing to lose a great deal of market share.

Pros

great culture, great benefits, great coworkers

Cons

upper management does not invest in its employees like they use too, several support teams are severely under staffed and have been denied head count, upper management seems to favor the service team and gives little to no consideration to the supporting teams in the company

Pros

They have a lot of great people that work for them. It all sounds amazing and when you’re hired. Even through training you’re thinking “this is awesome! This company is great” and they focus on their Glassdoor ranking….

Cons

The Glassdoor link to review is sent out during or right after training while you’re drinking their kool aid and don’t have the experience yet to form a real review. They’ve turned the company into ADP. More sales reps, less territory, and even when you do sell…implementation is so overwhelmed, they’ll lose your deal for you.
