Deceptive Hiring Practices

Pros

Benefits are great if you can make it, but most people won't be here long. Just check LinkedIn to see...

Cons

They'll lure you to apply to the job because of the ridiculousy high base salary. Then, they'll breeze you through the interview process so they can fly you out to 3-4 weeks of "training". What they don't tell you is that training is just another step of their interview process. They're constantly changing their processes and clearly haven't figured out anything that works besides mass hiring/firing. They will not invest in you whatsoever - there's a reason turnover is so high. Don't be fooled like I was.

This is a performance-driven role where results are expected from the start and accountability is non-negotiable. We’re clear about expectations, and our training is designed to build on existing skills and reinforce how we operate—not to define or lower the standard. Every step of our process is intentional to ensure the right fit, and we’re transparent about that throughout. For further discussion, reach out to hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.

Pros

The people are the very best

Cons

Run, run, RUN. Don’t let the five star reviews from 2020 deceive you. This is the most toxic work environment I have ever been apart of as a working professional. Since Jennifer K left, HR (for an HRIS software, mind you) is non-existent. For any advice or guidance, they encourage you to submit an Ask Here just for the response from “HR” to tell you to ask your first level leader- helpful; who do they think asked us to submit the inquiry to begin with?! The decision making from upper management is abysmal; new half baked initiatives weekly, the elimination of Sales Regionals to have 30 Sales Managers report to a VP of Sales? Make it make sense. The “layoffs” to save a struggling stock conveniently falling right before bonus payouts and eliminating leaders and individual contributors only to repost the role 10 minutes later….. a company focused only on their bottom line. And AI? They talk about it but is it in the room with us? Unanswered inboxes, broken processes, teams eliminated with no one filling the gaps. And big green loyalty? Think 8 years matters? 10? They’ll send your anniversary flowers but years of service means nothing to upper management and Chad and there’s no dollar amount in the world that can ever make this opportunity worth it for you. So run. Run as fast as you can to find a company whose morals and actions align.

We operate with clear structure and experienced leadership guiding decisions at every level. Expectations are high, results matter and leaders are there to support their teams. We leverage AI in various aspects of our business and communicate that openly.
