Pros

The company truly does value work/life balance. If you are just starting a career or are in your early career years, Paylocity is definitely the best place for you to be. Lots of swag - if you like jackets, sweatshirts and cups this is your place to be!

Cons

If you are a seasoned professional, working at Paylocity is insulting to say the least. Leadership has no way to mentor you because they lack in the experience or qualifications to help you grow. You are not acknowledged for the work in which you were hired for. You are merited and promoted based on the “extras” (such as learning something completely out of your realm of expertise). You cannot just be great at your own job! The pay is not competitive for those who bring years of experience and is truly only meant for people in their early career.

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

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
