Pros
I have been working here at Paylocity for 2 + years now. I can tell you it is drastically different from working at former job Paychex . For starters the management styles are different. They management team here treats you like an adult/professional. I know it might sound like an odd thing, but working for Paychex the management team acted as they are far superior to you. They would talk down to you, even though they didn't know. Treated you like a number, and not a person. One of the most refreshing things at Paylocity is the honesty, the management team is upfront with you. The direction, plans, and how we are going to do it. This makes the job exciting, and a PLEASURE to come to work every day. There is a lot of work of course, but I don't mind putting in the amount of hours and hard work I am doing, because I KNOW the company appreciates it and shows it all the time. Work/life balance is pretty amazing. Paylocity understands that we are technology company and we can do part of our job at home. While it is not a full-time at home job. The ability to work a day or two home is tremendous, and I cannot be more thankful for that. Pros Work From Home (depending on your position) Great Atmosphere Company constantly growing As someone mentioned in their review recession proof. We were still growing even though the economy was tanking Management team that listen and actually tries to improve things for their employees They actually know you will have additional work and pay you overtime (unlike Paychex, regardless of where you were at in work load, no OT) Time off is also tremendous, at 2 years I got what had at 5 years at Paychex While it seems I am bashing Paychex, and I am a little, I will say I am grateful for what they taught me. But that doesn't give them the right to treat the employees the way they do. The worst part is that cannot see it.
Cons
This is also a pro, but the fast growth can be hard to manage at times. But I know this will be worth it in the long run. I don't have anything bad to say, the worst thing I can say is we lose the game room from time to time for training, and I can't play ping pong for a couple of weeks. If that is the worst thing I can complain about at the end of the day, I guess I am doing alright.
