Paycom gave me a career, not a job!

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Before I started with Paycom, I was almost embarrassed to tell people where I worked. I did the same thing every day with low pay and low chances for advancement. I was referred to Paycom by a friend and it has been the best career move of my life. Sure, I started from the bottom, but Paycom promotes from within and I have been promoted, or given a raise, 5 times in 5 years of service. Paycom provides the opportunity to obtain a job and develop it into a career.

Cons

There aren't any cons. Sure, the work can be hard, but it's always rewarding. Yes, there is a lot of change, but we are reshaping the industry and change is required.

Good company to start with, not a company to grow with

Pros

Good people Entertaining corporate culture Growing company Pretty cool year end party

Cons

- Horrible pay unless you are in sales - Politics not what you know but who you know - Raises every year were very low unless you are in sales - Not a company to have a future with, go work there for 2 maybe 3 years and start looking for something else. I switched to the oil field and I am really happy now. - Company doesn't care about their the best employees unless you are in sales. - you can't say anything bad about the company they like to hire employees who will blindly follow management.

Awesome place to work! Best decision I ever made to come and work here

Pros

The training for new hires is phenomenal. I learned more in my four weeks of training than in some of my business classes in college. They really make sure you are prepared and ready to be on your own out in the field once you finish training. The company culture is great as well. I have a ton of fun at work everyday and it is a very positive environment. Also the pay is great too. You are 100% in control of how much money you want to make and how fast you want to get there.

Cons

It's not your typical 9-5 job. Be prepared to work 50-60 hours a week especially if you are just starting off, however it is definitely worth the time.
