Pros

- Depends who your manager is, I feel I have a good work/life balance. Others absolutely do not have this. - Flexible PTO is actually flexible, I have never been denied a day/week off.

Cons

Payroc used to be great, I would rave about working here. I used to advertise for open roles, recommend it to friends etc. I only now realise after a friend of mine asked if he should apply that I absolutely would not recommend anyone work here in tech/engineering. Acquisitions are causing too much strain. Recent round of layoffs. Colleagues from recent acquisitions are paid more and expected to maintain less. Bonus amount has not grown as they change the structure and pay out year after year. The few company meetups we have are us sharing how much we are struggling. My realisation is that Payroc just isn't what it used to be, it's turning toxic. With out of touch leadership and more and more acquisitions I just don't see this as somewhere I am proud to work or would recommend anymore.

Pros

I would say it’s a remote role that helps you save on gas until they suddenly pull a bait and switch.

Cons

This company is extremely unstable. They will smile to your face one day and let you go the next without any prior warning, leaving you suddenly without income or security for your family. Despite that, they continue sending emails pushing you to participate in company surveys and subtly pressure you to present it as a “great place to work,” which feels very disingenuous. Upper management consistently expects more work for less, and employees are often required to put in long hours. If you try to set reasonable boundaries—like sticking to an 8-hour workday—you’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough. The company also seems to prioritize acquiring other businesses, only to follow up with layoffs shortly after. Leadership messaging is also misleading. In meetings, they encourage employees to “speak to your manager” if workloads become overwhelming, but in reality, that support isn’t there. Additionally, I originally applied for a fully remote position, only to experience a bait-and-switch where I was later required to go into the office. Even then, upper management was rarely present or accessible. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for a very unpredictable Rocy ride!
