Pros

Fifteen years ago I joined a small company that really cared about employees and providing a great work environment for EVERYONE they hired. Now, we have grown to a publicly traded company with over 5k employees and they STILL care about providing a great working environment for everyone they hire. We are a widely diverse group of people that really feels like family. In addition most positions offer a clear path to advancement within the company.

Cons

There is a LOT to learn if you are new to this industry so it is often difficult for new hires that are not already working in payroll. However, if you are a willing to learn, it is a great opportunity to enter the industry and grow with it.

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.
