Pros

Starting pay is decent at around $23/hr. The employee health benefits are great for individuals and families, The cafe and lunch options for $4 is a steal. Everyone that I worked with were friendly and supportive, and I had a great supervisor.

Cons

Lack of upward mobility in this particular position, and the annual raise for this position was very disappointing. I was a top performer in my department, yet was given a very low raise (3% is the standard yearly raise is what I hear), yet it was prorated at about 2% due to being with the company for 9 months, and not the full year. I expected the full 3% at the very least since I out-performed all of my colleagues, but I was told by my supervisor that HR comes up with the standard raise amount, it's not based on supervisor recommendation or merit/performance, which was very disappointing. Why would I strive to be the top performer in my department if I just get the standard raise that my peers receive? Also, A LOT of DEI shoved down your throat here as well. If you're into that sort of thing, and want to be involved in segregated groups by your race & ethnicity where you get to air your grievances with people that look like you, instead of just wanting to come to work, get your job done, maybe have a laugh or two with co-workers to get through the day, then go home to your family, then this is the place for you.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
