Avoid at all costs - Account Executive Paylocity Employee Review

This company isn't what it used to be . There are tons of growing pains, I among with others was mislead about the number of accounts I would in my territory. You spend your first year going through training (none of which actually helped me) and prospecting into your territory, most of which has bad data, fake businesses and channel partners who want nothing to do with you. Leadership is out of touch and the only solution they offer is to make more phone calls. "Frat" type culture within sales teams, with mostly everyone coming from ADP or Paychex. High earnings can be made but you start out at a very low base salary and commission percentage. Mandatory call blitzes and micromanagement to make you feel inferior. Guilt tripping for taking PTO and relationships feel transactional. Favoritism within teams are obvious and working here feels like a boiler room. Deals can take 4-6 months to close but you are judged on daily and weekly metrics, similar to a SMB role. When I came on board, there was so much potential but seeing how they handled the immense growth tells me there needs to be better leadership.
