Pros

They were all taken away - no fully remote, and competitive pay is gone.

Cons

Over the past few years, I’ve observed a notable decline in the performance and culture of Paylocity. The root of the problem seems to stem from toxic leadership and leaders who are out of touch with the company’s true needs. Many of them appear to lack the expertise and knowledge to guide the team effectively. Communication has become a significant issue. Instructions are often unclear, and there’s a lack of transparency in expectations. It’s frustrating to be reprimanded for tasks that were never communicated to us in the first place. The constant miscommunication has made it challenging to execute projects efficiently and has created a tense work environment. The potential of Paylocity is immense, but the current state of leadership and communication has hindered our ability to reach that potential. Constructive feedback and open lines of communication are essential for any company to thrive, and I sincerely hope that the leaders recognize this and work towards creating a more inclusive and transparent environment for all employees.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

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.
