Paycom reviews

Paycom was the most micromanaged and understaffed companies I have ever worked for. Throughout my 4 or so different professional roles, Paycom is the ONLY employer with which I've had a bad experience. There was mandatory OT almost every week, as management refused to staff the team adequately (in my opinion, they struggled to hire due to low starting wages and poor work-life balance). Employees were required/strongly recommended to tell them team any time you step away from your desk, e.g. to use the bathroom (BFFR, you can't handle me being away from my desk for literally 90 seconds?) Even though KPIs could be tracked through Paycom's internal software, we were still asked to keep track of them on a sheet of paper to give to our TL at the end of week (why??) Dress code for non-client facing roles seemed a bit silly for a "tech" company, as did being in-office full time.

-tight deadlines -deadlines are set last minute. You’ll work on a big project and then be told “alright, leadership wants this done in two weeks!” -never finishing projects but always starting projects -always required to work extra hours -bad specs, little clarity on requirements -no support from execs The biggest kicker is that this position is no longer remote. Over a year ago we were told that there were no plans to bring us back to office, we would work one day in office and the remainder from home. Yesterday, they gave us less than a month’s notice that we would be returning to office 5 days a week. Many are struggling to find last minute childcare and many don’t even live near office since they were only told they’d have to commute one day a week. Leaderships response to genuine concerns has lacked any kind of empathy or acknowledgment of real world problems caused by this decision. There has also not been any reason given to us as to why all of a sudden we are being forced to come back to office.
