      Quitting was the smartest thing I ever did

      Pros

      There aren't any good reasons to work here. None of the benefits or pay are worth the unrelenting pain that was working here.

      Cons

      This is a company that prides itself on conformity in its employees. Don't speak up negatively about anything. Found a problem? Get someone else to report it or you'll be looked at in a bad light. Complain about the almost 20 year old patched up software that runs the most essential part of the company isn't working right and you'll get a lecture about working harder to compensate for it. This company wants to hear ideas but only ideas that make them look good. Dissent is frowned on and is a good way to be shuffled out the door after things get blamed on you. There is no improvement policy or real training. Have an issue? Better figure it out because your team lead has no clue how to guide improvement and the training department is a joke. I've seen people fired for no good reason except that they seemed to be the ones who spoke out about problems. The working environment is pretty terrible. The cubes for most departments seat six. However, they usually cram eight or more into them. I've saw twelve at once in them. This wasn't growing pains. They had empty floors in the new building they'd built. They just didn't want to bother with the relocation. So you're crammed in like sardines, you can't complain about it or anything else because you'll end up getting fired more than likely and you're working with old software and inept management. How do you cope? Most people treat it like it's an adventure, like it's noble to suffer like this and that it's for the greater good that is Paycom. They'll put on a happy face and only cry when absolutely necessary (no, I'm not exaggerating either). Me, I tried to do the same until I saw them fire eight people at once on a Friday and have them replaced with fresh faces the next Monday all blissfully unaware what awaited them. It was the last straw. I got out fast after that and have never been happier to put a job behind me. The short of it all: DO NOT WORK HERE AT ALL. It's not worth it.

      As a company, we are only as successful as the collective and dedicated energy of our employees. Their feedback is paramount to our success which is why we are constantly listening to our employees through internal and external surveys and we react accordingly. Not everyone is a fit at Paycom, but we certainly hope you expressed your concerns during your exit interview. As for our award-winning training program, we not only offer detailed product training for all customer-facing employees, but we also offer professional and personal courses, ensuring everyone has the ability to expand their careers and personal lives. We strongly encourage employees to submit opportunities for improvement forms regarding processes and policy changes they see that may be beneficial to the company. Due to our rapid growth, we will soon be opening a third building. We are unfamiliar with the work environment you discussed and can ensure our employees have the appropriate amount of work space. We wish you the best of luck.

      Experienced people steer clear

      Pros

      Not much really. The $1 a paycheck insurance is nice but that's more to make up for the low pay they hire a lot of people at and you'll have a hard time taking off to go to the doctor anyway so it's not much of a pro.

      Cons

      Paycom is another in a long line of companies in the Oklahoma City area that hire inexperienced people in droves, work them as hard as they possibly can and then drop the ones who can't or won't comply to the crazed culture. If you have any real job experience, you won't last long because you'll either quit when you realize the insanity of it all or be fired when you try to make actual change. Don't work here if you can avoid it. The company loves to joke about being cult like asome a previous reviewer pointed out. They may joke but it's really pretty close to the truth. You'll work long, horrible hours for little real recognition. Example: I worked in a department that finished an incredibly difficult assignment a week early. We all got called to a meeting and they started handing out envelopes. We get excited thinking they were a bonus. Nope. Our bonus was some ice cream. The envelopes were part of a party game. The whole company is like that. It presents like a serious company but under it all its a company that grew way too fast to meet an IPO deadline and now has lots of inexperienced, and frankly pretty lost, middle management trying to blunder along. Steer clear.

      Paycom challenges and stretches its employees, and with those challenges come unlimited opportunities for career growth. Our compensation structure is highly competitive and is in-line or better than averages posted by the Department of Labor and our peers. We recognize that working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and it does require added effort, but this is what a company with high growth looks like. It takes a person that is willing to put in hard work, and those that do put in the effort, reap the rewards. We will pass your concerns onto members of our senior leadership team.

      Pros

      I can't say enough good things about my experience at Paycom! The company culture is bar none and the people are amazing. I have never worked at a place where every person is legitimately excited to be at work until I got to Paycom. They expect a lot out of their employees but the reward, compensation and company moral is worth every bit. They are truly invested in their employees... I am not aware of too many other companies where the C-Level Executives know you by name and personally take an interest and train their people. Paycom is truly an amazing company.

      Cons

      Long hours but you're compensated fairly and the return is worth it. I have to type a minimum of 20 words.
