      Pros

      Benefits and 401k are good. They also have employee stock options. Work from home flexibility.

      Cons

      I have been with Paylocity for 9 years and I’ve had enough with the politics. Raises are horrible. If you do good you’ll maybe get 3%. The way they handle raises is by having a set amount for the department. For example, they give management a set rate for each employee. If you have someone who does better than others, you have to take from someone else’s 3%. So if you get 6% that means someone else is getting less than the allotted 3%. The other downside of this model is that they never give raises to retain employees or when an employee requests one outside of compensation cycle. If I didn’t need the insurance I would leave in a heartbeat.

      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

      Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

      Cons

      Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
