Pros

Co-Workers are friendly Get to work on challenging problems Transparency with leadership to your hear problems but very little action.

Cons

Nothing makes Paylocity that special anymore. If you are a good engineer you will be expected to give all you can and more. Management wants quality but lacks ability to lead or enforce it. Every manager is looking for their next promotion while status quo is the same. We continue to grow and take more away from our employees. Paylocity is not a leader and is only reactionary while having the “most modern” HCM solution. A lot of internal career opportunities are now overseas, limiting the options for internal movement for US Based Employees
