Pros

- Compensation and benefits - Supportive and informed leaders within my department - Stimulating projects that help with professional growth - Open communication

Cons

Honestly, work-life balance can be tough in a fast-paced environment like Paycom's. But I'm lucky to have a great leader who helps me prioritize and manage my workload. That's made a big difference in me being able to balance my work and personal life (not to say there won’t be late evenings).

Pros

Benefits are good. Amenities in the office are nice. I felt very secure on campus. Security takes their job seriously.

Cons

I see the company responding to these reviews with automated responses ,or they are claiming that the company did not have “layoffs” when over 500 people just lost their jobs. I had to leave this job not too long ago and didn’t even have a job lined up but my mental health could not take it anymore. They expect you to hit strict metrics with no wiggle room and the punishment for not meeting metrics means mandatory weekend hours. You will have to work from home after going home and this was expected if the workload is high. (It always is) Leadership is very passive aggressive, secretive and they lack communication skills. There is no job security whatsoever. I was told that taking PTO could make ,or break my job security. People get fired left and right all the time. AI just replaced so many people’s jobs. Prior to working here , I had very minimal mental issues and by the time I exited, I had been taking very heavy medications prescribed to me in order to manage the stress/anxiety. It’s not worth your sanity. Please reconsider how important a work/life balance is to you. You have to be okay with working 60+hours a week. Mandatory weekend hours as well.
