Pros

The Software and Service! Amazing Colleagues, and a handful of great leaders! Also, incredible benefits. Commission structure is the best in the industry.

Cons

There is not an issue with transparency, but one with feedback. As a top performer, I have major concerns about the changes taking place within the sales culture. There is no flexibility and new reps are not on-boarded properly with proper training. Very few managers know the internal processes here to even assist the new people, so when those new hires are drowning 6 months in, they blame the rep and they are put on a performance plan. Not too mention, the company is taking a quantity or quality approach to putting as many reps in a city as possible. You say you don’t want a culture like Paycom, I do believe that’s exactly what you are building. As the other review mentioned...use our Survey tool, you will see. Your reps are absolutely miserable and looking elsewhere.

Hi, and thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback. We take great pride in our software and service, and are happy to see you agree. Our feedback culture is very important to us, and we are thankful you are willing to share your point of view. Any changes we roll out go through an extensive process prior to sharing with the sales organization to ensure the changes benefit the individuals and contribute to their success. We take feedback seriously, and believe in the value of our survey tool. We have begun surveying our employees more and more and will continue to do so. We believe in our culture and are constantly striving to make Paylocity a Best Place to Work. If you are willing to share more specific feedback, I would love to have a conversation.

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.
