Paycom reviews

There haven't been any cons.

Paycom has a very cult-like feel. I personally felt unbearable stress. Our manager treated everyone terribly (probably because the manager was also under unbearable stress) and the resources you are given to make it through are extremely limited. Everyone is stretched way too thin. I used to be required to be at the office starting the day at 7:30 - better be there 5 minutes before 7:30 or get reamed out - and would stay until 7:30pm minimum, most days later, except Fridays. Once home at night, I was expected to do additional research on my accounts, practice role-plays and record myself, update my Paycom system, and prepare my drops/mailers for the following day. I would also regularly get calls from my manager past 8pm. On Sunday, you're expected to 'prepare your week' which takes hours. Even though my coworkers and I couldn't believe what we were putting up with, we were all absolutely terrified to say anything about it. Even now, I am afraid to write this review, but it needs to be said. I tried calling HR anonymously, and they refused to give any advice without knowing my full name - felt like they were trying to rat me out so I gave up on that idea. It's absurd to read all of the "Great place to work!" exclamation point reviews. From what I've gathered, many reviews are written while people are in their training class and haven't experienced the work yet. You'll read other reviews on the true cult-like nature of Paycom if you dig through the "Great!!!" ones. Yes, you can make a ton of money, so if that's what you're going for - definitely consider it. But, this job and this management can really break you down. I did well while I was at Paycom and still dreaded/feared every day. I couldn't wait to get out of there. It feels great to have left it in the past, and yes, you can make as much money elsewhere.
