Good people, terrible management

Pros

- Good people at the low levels who genuinely try and want to make a good product - Pretty good pay and benefits ($1 health insurance for individuals)

Cons

- Upper management makes decisions that prioritize their egos and control over actual productivity or morale. They seem to hate their employees and prioritize fearful vindictiveness over true leadership. - Stock compensation is a trap, you won't make it that far. Honestly not even sure the stock itself is going to make it that far. - Mediocre 401(k) match (3.5% if you put in 6%) - I don't know if they say they'll give bonuses anymore, but getting them is more about your team and manager than your individual performance. Same for "promotions". - Leadership does not live corporate values. - It doesn't matter if you take pride in your work or want to develop a good product. The deadline is always yesterday at the cost of the clients.

Pros

Great Manager and great commission structure. You can make a lot of money here if you are successful.

Extremely high KPI's that must be hit weekly. Most people they hire will be fired in 6 months to a year

Great Pay, Great Benefits, Great Company

Business Outlook

Pros

-Company provides competitive pay -Paycom provides a wide-ranging suite of benefits at an affordable cost and is always looking to diversify the benefits portfolio and negotiate costs on behalf of employees. -Coming from the service industry, Paycom has provided generous PTO options, fair compensation, and schedule stability in comparison with what I'm used to. I appreciate being able to have nights/weekends/holidays off and the flexibility that the PTO policy provides.

Cons

At times, there can be multiple department-wide initiatives going at the same time. Each of them is important and adds value to the client experience and promotes Paycom's business model. However, it can be difficult to fully invest in these initiatives while taking care of clients' troubleshooting needs and their specific list of priorities, outside of strategic company initiatives.
