Pros

-WONDERFUL benefits i.e. (1$-health insurance) -Catered lunches (every day) -Monthly "parties" a lot of free gifts -Free fountain drinks -Free gym & gym classes (zumba & yoga)

Cons

-VERY crowded parking -Reception is NOT for if your a people person. -Everyone was constantly on high alert and 'scared' of upper management -The test you have to take before your even able to get an interview. -You have to be in a specific dept. for over 6mo to even be considered to move into a different one, no matter how much you dislike it. -The people and management.

At Paycom our employees enjoy a “work hard, play hard” environment. This means while we do have a lot of fun together, we also buckle down and work. Because we’re not sure when you left Paycom, we want you to know we opened a new parking garage in early 2017, which provided hundreds of new, covered parking spaces. Paycom’s leadership team is made of up seasoned professionals and also many who have been with the organization since it was founded, helping to build the organization into the successful technology company it is today. Third, our goal in recruiting is to make sure we find both the best talent and the best fit for a role, meaning candidates go through a variety of evaluation processes specific to the role they applied and are being considered for. While we strive to be accommodating to employees, it’s ineffective for the company to constantly bounce employees around departments without a strategic or operational purpose. We believe you’ll find that to be the case at most organizations. Finally, we understand that Paycom isn’t a fit for everyone and wish you success in your future endeavors.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
