Pros

Worked remote but was not worth it for what I went though.

Cons

My time at Paylocity was marked by some concerning challenges, particularly in the areas of training and consistency. The training process, in particular, was disappointing and left much to be desired. With minimal training provided, it felt like there was a lack of investment in adequately preparing new hires like myself for our roles. The disorganized training sessions only added to the frustration, making it difficult to fully grasp essential concepts and strategies. One significant consequence of these training shortcomings was the high churn rate among sales directors. This constant turnover not only reflected a lack of stability within the company but also had a direct impact on the consistency of our sales efforts. With a revolving door of sales directors, each bringing their own methods and understanding of the company’s services, it became challenging to establish trust and build lasting relationships with clients. Addressing these issues is critical for the overall success of Paylocity. Investing in a more comprehensive and organized training program would undoubtedly result in more confident and effective employees. Additionally, tackling the high turnover rate among sales directors would go a long way in establishing a more stable and consistent approach to client interactions. In conclusion, my time at Paylocity was marred by inadequate training and a concerning turnover rate among sales directors. By prioritizing a more robust training program and working to retain experienced sales directors, Paylocity has the opportunity to create a more positive and stable work environment.

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.
