Pros

High base salary that's it

Cons

This company is a gimmick. The further I am removed the more I realize how I was tricked into thinking it was a good place to work. It's almost cult like the way they indoctrinate you to make you feel like paycom is the best job YOU will ever have. Choose happiness not the deceitful promise of making lots of money.

As you indicated, we do have a very competitive compensation program, which gives our sales representatives excellent earning potential. We communicate the compensation opportunities clearly during both the interview and onboarding process, but it does take grit from our sales representatives to maximize their earning potential. It’s no secret that our goal is to make Paycom “the best job” our employees have ever had and are committed to continuous improvement to make it happen.

Pros

They think extremely highly of themselves and believe they are probably the greatest company in existence. Reality: Status quo corporate hive-mind. You will do well here if you like overwhelming workload, endless rhetoric, shameless self-promoting, and ethical grey areas when dealing with your clients. You get some OK $4 lunches and some industry minimum healthcare for $1 per paycheck! You'll learn how to deal with pressure and nonsense in a stressful-by-design work environment to put on your resume for your next job.

Cons

As a Paycom specialist you will service upwards of 150 clients. You are sold to the client as a "dedicated specialist" and they expect you to be such. Good luck giving your personal attention to 150 different organizations. Every day that you drag yourself out of bed begrudgingly to go to your next day of dealing with issues that you can't do anything about because the software is so flawed. In house development is nice if you actually fix the issues and give what the clients want rather than creating a new buggy product to push to the clients by salespeople who know nothing of what happens after they shine up the turd and get their commission check. Really, they claim ADP is their biggest competition when they aren't even in the same category. ADP is an industry giant, Paycom is an industry bottom feeder that is experiencing exponential growth that they cannot keep up with from a staffing/retention standpoint.

Paycom is committed to continuous improvement, employee engagement and developing the best solutions in the HR technology space. We want to be the best company we can be. We are committed to improving our processes to make work less demanding for our employees, while still providing quality support to our clients. Specialist workload is based on experience, skill, knowledge and tenure. Health insurance benefits and perks provided to employees are highlighted positively by our employees and job seekers. Additionally, due to the ease of use of the Paycom platform not every client requires the assistance of a specialist. One of our core strengths is our dedication to create and evolve HR technology that is truly built in a single-database over a patchwork quilt of solutions. As we grow, we will continue to innovate and provide the support our clients deserve and respect.
