Beware- TOXIC

Human resources

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are great. $1 health insurance, $4 meals are convenient (although subpar at times).

Cons

Very emotional CEO that makes decisions with no logic. Benefits are great, but the work culture is toxic. They pay fairly well for Paycom Specialist roles, but that makes it hard to transfer. I had many employees requesting mental health leave, requests to transfer departments, but we could only do so much. When bad reviews hit the websites, we were strongly encouraged to leave five-star reviews to offset them. It’s a borderline cult-like mindset working there. If you push back on changes or call out discrepancies, you’re out. Of course the sales/account executives have a lot of positive things to post- they are making a lot of money.
