Good pay but overwhelming workload and micromanagement

Specialist

Business Outlook

Pros

the pay is good, no upselling, everybody makes the same money (unless you've been there longer), which is good

Cons

waaaaaaaaaay too much work for 1 person, unreasonable expectations, micromanagement like i've never seen before, everything's monitoried 24/7 alllll the time, on-site 5 days a week definitely not fun. most people never leave at 5, at least when you have a full client list. 10-12 hour days are common

Replacing workers with unproven AI solutions - remaining humans will be left holding the bag.

Client success manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None of the pros that kept me at the company for nearly a decade are present anymore.

Cons

Layoffs in 2025 to replace workers with AI were rampant. Now that the AI bubble is bursting, I expect 2026 and 2027 to be turbulent. Stock prices have been in steady decline since COVID, value is now as low as they were back in 2017-2018. No work from home flexibility, UNLESS it is to keep employees working on days they otherwise could not come into the office, like a snow storm. Work from home is for the company's convenience, not employees'. If anyone struggles with a process or performance expectation, most managers respond with "well others have found success, so..." regardless of how many "others" there actually are. You could have 1 person out of 400 finding "success" with a new initiative, and Paycom views that as a failure on the part of the 399 and not the process itself. Metrics constantly shift, without any means testing, bonus structure also shifts wildly from being unatainable, non-existent, and incoherent. I've seen the bonus structure change multiple times within the span of a single quarter. CEO regularly jokes that you either burnout after a year, or your get promoted, and believe me the competition for promotions is incredibly fierce. If you do not have an intimate and personal relationship with the decision maker, you may as well not apply.

Once a great place to work now ruined by bad policies and management

Senior software devleoper

Business Outlook

Pros

- pay was good - outside of management and above, teammates and fellow employers were good. - Good benefits and PTO

Cons

- Bad management. Fails to implement processes that stick. Lacks accountability and instead of keeping their loyal employees, they let them go. - Awful work/life balance. Used to be great but has been corrupted.
