      Pros

      I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANYTHING POSITIVE WITH THIS COMPANY.

      Cons

      I have never experienced an environment as toxic as Paylocity! Management is biased and they divide employees. They have a bullying culture and do not care about employees' wellbeing. The HR is not there to protect employees; they are there to protect management! It's ironic that this is an HR software company. Management is essentially a cult. They talk in echo-chamber and ignore disagreeing voices. They abuse their power to bully employees and silence them by switching them around and then pressing them to get business outcomes in a short period of time. When you fail, they blame you and said that you do not perform to their expectations. When you do perform by showing hard performance data, they simply brush it off and say that doesn't matter. It is a bullying and hostile environment these people have created. I did not even think that it'd exist in the tech world!

      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

      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.
