Pros

I've worked at numerous places, have no college degree and have never been able to have the opportunities I've had here. Pay potential for someone like me isn't available unless you wanna be a roughneck. Culture is awesome. Benefits are great.

Cons

They hire a lot of young kids who are spoiled and complain and gossip. Wish they would hire more mature people.

At Paycom, our employees define our culture through their enthusiasm, teamwork and dedication. If that’s what it means to drink the “Kool-aid,” we can live with that as an organization. As an organization, we do have high expectations for our employees and we also provide the support and training to help our employees succeed in meeting those expectations. Paycom takes personnel decisions seriously and we’re committed to long-term relationships with our employees. Any decision to terminate that relationship is made with careful consideration and employees are fully informed of the expectations regarding their roles and performance. We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your time at Paycom and will share your feedback with the management team.

Pros

$1 health insurance High pay if you put in the time. Recently revamped accruals- more PTO $4 catered lunches Year End Party On-site employee appreciation events

Cons

-Management in PSD department. We are led with a “trail and error” approach. Processes are often rolled out and then rolled back when the irrationality becomes apparent. Every week brings and even poorer thought out plan than the previous. This is the result of promoting people who incur favor from upper management as opposed to earning their promotions based on merit. -Unrealistic expectations of client facing roles. -Increased workload with no accompanying support from management. -Reactive process changes and job functionalities. Something has to go very wrong to initiate any kind of change. -Decline in quality of product. Massive IT problems. -Continuous set-up issues for new clients -No accountability from supporting departments- specialist told to take ownership of every error.
