Pros

Healthy financials Seasoned at remote workplace Great for roles outside of product

Cons

- Too many products - Getting disrupted by Startups and not increasing investment - Many product people just took $20k-$50k pay cuts despite the company posting record growth and profits. Also the way these changes were rolled out was extremely deceptive with managers not knowing about the pay cuts until the day we needed to share them.

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.
