Pros

Upstanding individual contributors and team leaders/middle managers across the technology organization $1 health insurance for singles On site fitness center and recreational activities Employee Stock Programs Opportunity for advancement and cross departmental internal transfers Outstanding internship programs and a place for college graduates to begin a career

Cons

Benefits package is below market if you are carrying additional dependents Upper management is out of touch with the workforce needs and feedback loops RTO policies are antiquated for a technology company Inexpensive (4$) lunch meals are subpar in quality High turnover volume has made job executions more difficult over time Knee jerk reactions from the top create a chaotic environment for individuals at the ground level resulting in moving target objectives, unrealistic deadlines, and an overall feeling of instability Fear based leadership and micromanagement are common themes Company is outwardly marketed as a Technology workplace but treated inside as Sales and Operational workforce as a whole Lack of flexibility across departments and subgroups to create policies and change that promote a healthy working environment. One size fits all blanketed policies

Pros

Hard to think of any whatsoever besides just the experience gained from the time spent here. Almost everything is built in-house and proprietary so no transferable knowledge of systems that are more widely used in the tech space.

Cons

I dont even want to give this company the time of day for a review. I will leave just a few words that I think of when describing this place: Fear based, Scare Tactics, Sociopaths, Depression, Cold, Drama, Immature, Unprofessional, Old-School, Rigid, Brainwashing, Lying, Stress, Therapy, TOXIC, Numb, Trapped, Not-Heard, Anger. My years with this company were some of the darkest times of my life. I am not being dramatic with this review, this company will widdle you down to being a shell of a human being.. I warn every person I know to steer clear of this company if you value your mental health whatsoever. I promise no $4 lunch or free junk with Paycom's logo blasted all over it is worth it. Ive since left Paycom and have more than doubled my salary at another company doing a lot of the same work with much less stress, and a much better work/life balance.

Can’t keep up with other tech companies

Pros

Truly a great place to start your career out of college. You will learn so much about business ops and HR.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company is not what it used to be and has failed to keep up with the times. Failed leadership in the service department has resulted in some of the worst turnover I’ve ever seen. Specialists are completely overworked and it’s led to insane burnout. There has also been no flexibility with WFH, where other companies will allow it in a heartbeat to keep good employees. Paycom does not care about keeping employees for the long term. No cost of living adjustments, no raises for inflation adjustments… all while expecting five days in the office while gas prices are sky high. I have seen Paycom’s most tenured employees leave at an alarming pace the last 3-6 months. Clients are also feeling the pain of the turnover.

We are glad to hear you view Paycom as a good place to learn about business ops and HR. We are dedicated to continually improving our programs that impact employee well-being, such as the addition of well-being advisors, increased PTO and adding more headcount to help support our current employees. If you didn’t share these sentiments before your departure, we ask that you do so by connecting with our HR team at hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.
