Pros

- Entry Level experience can be acquired - Depending on the team, you'll meet some great people

Cons

Even though I worked remotely for majority of my time at PCTY, I still didn't have a life. Be prepared for long nights, weekends, and then some. In payroll, this is expected from Nov-Jan, but beyond that - it's unacceptable. It's also unacceptable to have more clients than you can count, to be berated for taking time off, and to be disrespected by upper management. Despite having a remarkable work ethic and being a team player, I was destroyed. I was moved from team to team to pick up accounts and fix problems. Sure, that's fine for a few weeks while management gets their ducks in a row. However, to not receive any form of thanks or compensation for the extra work, AND TO HEAR that new hires you're supposed to mentor are making more, was my last straw. Save your time, and your life - don't work here.

Paylocity Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We strongly suggest employees discuss their workload with management or their HRBP if employees feel they are not being heard by their leadership teams. At Paylocity, we strongly believe in taking time off to reset and recharge, and we support our employees to do so as needed. In Implementation, we regularly monitor those who are at the cap for vacation accruals to encourage them to take time off. Additionally, we are in the process of assessing any procedures that are in place for employees that would like to take time off so we can ensure the work is covered and employees feel empowered to take their PTO. We are also happy to announce that we have reinstated merit for all eligible employees and have provided eligible employees with a $2,000 bonus for all of their efforts throughout the pandemic. We continue to be transparent and provide fair equity and opportunity for all employees.

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.
