Pros

A Paycheck and remote work that is about it

Cons

Terrible place to work. The bonus structure is unclear and largely left to management’s discretion. You can fill all assigned requisitions and still miss your bonus based on subjective criteria or additional checkboxes that aren’t consistently communicated. Leadership resists innovation, and there is pressure to hire unqualified candidates simply to meet quotas, often framed as “job security.” Attempts to improve processes or introduce new ideas are met with pushback, and employees may be labeled as “not a fit” for speaking up.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

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.
