Let me start by saying this. Any positive reviews you read about this place are either written by the PR team, incentivized by the company to falsely boost their numbers, or individuals who “drank the Paycom koolaid” because it was their first and only job after college. I cannot begin to explain how terrible the culture is at Paycom. This company from the top down is run so poorly. The CEO has completely lost touch with the company and everybody I know is unhappy and looking for other jobs. There is a distinct culture of fear all around the building with the common employee feeling the brunt of the repercussions from awful business decisions. The individuals in management are blindly loyal to the system and will not stand up for you no matter how kind they are. Many people describe the company as being cult-like, and I would have to agree. Paycom masks lay-offs as “performance issues” even though there was never a previous conversation or concern about performance. They will keep you for a year, realize they over hired, and cut the newest employees for financial reasons. There is no pathway to rising the ranks in this company and they will gaslight you all the way until you get laid off. They do not listen to their employees concerns and there are no checks and balances for the CEO who rules the company like a dictator. They DO NOT CARE about their employees. Their 2023 Q3 earnings and the class action lawsuit should tell you that the company is rotting from the inside out. You cannot trust anyone there. Most people in upper level management are there because they drank the most kool aid….they tend to be conformists and not individuals challenging to make the company better. That is why Paycom’s tech is outdated and their culture is stale/toxic. I look forward to the copy and paste response this review will get saying they are “disappointed” to hear this and to please contact an HR hotline that will throw the complaint in a trash bin. Even if this review gets a well thought out response from Paycom, it will still be typed up by a fearful employee who is taking orders to try and save face for a company they know is wrecking people’s lives. This company needs divine intervention to make it a positive working environment. DO NOT WORK AT PAYCOM.
