Pros

They do their best to make their employees happy. They work very hard at maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere, since they know you have a lot on your plate. They manage employee stress levels very well. Lots of nice gifts.

Cons

It can come off a little too much for a more reserved person. Very Christian atmosphere which can be exhausting for non-Christians. It feels like a high school, drama included. Work life balance suffers and most people seem weirdly okay with it. Sales is disconnected from the rest of the company in ways that are often extremely troublesome - I think that's probably par for the course, though.

Working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and does require added effort, but this is what a company with high growth looks like. During certain times our employees do work overtime, but those that do put in the effort, reap the rewards and added compensation. As you mentioned, we do everything we can to ensure stress levels are not a concern with our employees. Please reach out to a member of HR regarding your training department comment, which we will also pass up along to members of our senior leadership team. Thank you for all of your hard work at Paycom!

Pros

Wonderful management that truly cares for their employees! Training that supports growth. Great compensation and great benefits. You never have to look far for inspiration

Cons

I really can not find many cons in this position. If you are not willing to put in time with the position and be dedicated to your work it may not be the best option for you.

Pros

I wouldn't say there's any pros. Training is okay but feels like high school, very cliquey and judgmental. You can move up eventually depending on how much you kiss up, but only if you're willing to put in 12 hour days with no time for self or family....but that's the thing....no one wants to be there after they realize how fake everyone is and how terrible the work is. Everyone complains about it and is looking for a way out which is why turnover is through the roof. They don't trust you or respect you as a professional adult which is why you will me micromanaged to the core, and the stress will drive you insane.

Cons

If you're not fake, completely clueless, or willing to be a puppet, don't even bother applying. It doesn't matter how talented, driven, or successful you are in previous roles!! You have to be willing to give up a part of yourself to be what they want you to be, a robot who annoys clients constantly to try to beg them to buy the products. (Which clients are infuriated with on a daily basis). They make you go through an extremely unnecessarily long and intruding interview process to try to make you feel like it's soooo selective and you're a "chosen one" and lucky they even gave you a chance to be one of them. What a joke!

We look for individuals with a growth mindset, meaning they are constantly looking for growth opportunities, both personally and professionally. Paycom offers a platform for those with a strong drive and determination to propell their careers and achieve new heights they’ve never seen before. Our trainings are designed to enhance our employees’ careers, not to be a networking occasion. Promotions at Paycom are not based on likeability, but are strategically outlined in our leveling-up programs. While you claim we have high turnover, we are extremely proud of our employee retention numbers as they are some of the best in the business. We are experiencing high growth, resulting in new opportunities for our employees. Our interview process is selective and we pride ourselves on hiring the most talented, driven and diverse individuals. We wish you the best of luck in future endeavors.
