Pros

Some nice people at Paycom, $1 insurance, decent catered lunches.

Cons

Where to begin. I haven't been here long but I can see immediately that there is no work/life balance. They tell you in the interview about gray-out months but were not very clear about the overtime in those months. Only for January which I thought was fine. If you have kids, forget about this place for employment. I haven't been here long at all and I'm already looking for another job. I've never worked somewhere that expects so much mandatory overtime. No wonder the most tenured employees in my department, outside of supervisors, have only been there 3 years. Thus was told to me by a supervisor. It probably is not possible to stay longer and keep your sanity.

Working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and does require added effort, but this is what a company with high growth looks like. It is true that we have a lot of new leaders who have been with the company for less than five-years which is due to our popularity and 49% growth rate. This shows that opportunity is abound and is here for the taking for those who want it.

Pros

$1 health insurance and $4 catered lunches every day. We have a free gym, so forget paying a membership fee everywhere else! Amazing leadership everywhere in the company. It is a work hard play hard company. They're very rewarding with the hard work you put in.

Cons

Most positions are hourly, but you will put in overtime during certain parts of the year, but you're compensated for it. The work loads can be overwhelming at times, but it will make you a much stronger person at the end of it knowing you can prove yourself to upper management.

Pros

Today I had a client that read some bad reviews on Paycom. The things that she read were so far from the truth of what the company is really about at it's core that I felt the need to express my opinion. I have worked for a Fortune 500 company, for the city and county of a hometown where I grew up, and even in the restaurant business. I have never seen so much talent, dedication, and support from all departments as I've seen at Paycom. I really wanted this to be out there in the world for people to see and value. It's something to truly consider from a cultural standpoint when you're evaluating where you want to work and who you want to partner with. But if you want someone that is going to actually care about you as an employee, client, and person, this is the company for you.

Cons

With what I said in my pros, I am going to extend the truth about the level of hard work a company like Paycom expects of you. You will have to put in many hours, especially in the beginning; it is worth every second, though. The reason for this is because the company holds extremely high standards about the level of quality our service provides. You need to understand legislation, financial analysis, product knowledge, business acumen, and excellent customer service. This is not something that comes easy--it takes seasoned workers years to accomplish this level of expertise and quality. However, one of the great things that makes Paycom so special is that they believe in the millennial generation; they give opportunity and training to youth that has natural talent so that their skill set can be increased at an accelerated rate. They're a company that doesn't necessarily believe that seniority trumps skill--in fact, it's the opposite. Honestly, the only person that wouldn't fit the company is the person that is either not fit for this industry or role, or is not willing to put in the work to achieve the success. Just my two cents.
