Layoffs happen OFTEN and without remorse. The company does not care about it's employees and makes them sign a waver saying they cannot say anything bad about the company for at least 2 years. Apparently, for their maternity leave, if you quit less than 6 months after you come back, they will SUE you for the money. It's a literal policy agreement that you have to sign when you get hired. I took my first review down out of fear, but now it's been 2 years so I am allowed to openly speak, and I still have strong opinions. They burn out their employees and the pay is bad for the roles. The CEO actually works in the building. Everyone treats him like he is some sort of king. They call him "dad chad." He gets mad a lot and will come up to the area in the building that made him mad. They are paranoid about employees leaking information or videoing meetings and made it impossible to film during meetings, because they are so controversial and they don't want the public to know what goes on. There is armed security and metal detectors. There are private "sound proof" booths to cry in, and a therapist on site (you will need it, she is great). Employees are HIGHLY pressured to work overtime on the weekends for free in hope of getting a "prize" and a t-shirt every summer for weeks. The more free hours you work, the more coins you get or something like that. The developers and QA had a running leader board about who does the best-worst work I have heard. They just fired the whole QA department. They will hire people and fire people for no reason over and over again. They will lie to your face too. The CEO promised when the return to office began that the tech department would never return to office full time again. Then they required everyone to be back in office the next MONTH without childcare, and some people had moved away due to that promise, basically forcing them to quit, then they laid off more people on top of that for no reason. The sales side of things is intense. The quotas always go up, and one time they fired half of the inside sales workers in one day. Just went one by one and fired them all. It's just one big corporate office nightmare. Also, the building is full of all gray cubicles. It takes 30+ minutes to just get out of the parking lot at the end of the day. If you get there early, you can't leave that many minutes early. There is no flex time. They also are located right off of the toll road but won't cover the toll cost for employees. You sign your rights away as part of the onboarding process. That's why the employees that get fired can't comment on any of the news stories. It's like working in North Korea. Everyone hates it there and has to smile and suffer in silence. Oh and to show Paycom really doesn't care about it's employees, they will ask for feedback, and when employees complain, they just copy and paste the same robot sounding response to every comment. Watch, they will copy and paste it to this review soon. They have even asked for questions during town halls, and instead of answering them, they only answer the questions they want to answer (I think the higher ups actually put them there) and then will MUTE/BLOCK anyone from asking anymore real questions. To sum it up, don't work here, you will hate your life.
