Pros

It starts off great. You’ll think you landed your dream job. Give it a year or so…

Cons

If not prior to, by year 2, you will feel completely defeated, disheartened, and insecure. There is a wonderful company in Oklahoma that, during onboarding of former paycom employees, they offer a “grieving period” in which they get the person comfortable because they know how poorly paycom workers are treated. It is well-known among the various (actual) great companies in Oklahoma. Thankfully, I work for one of the best now. When we hire former paycom employees, we also treat them with great care to ensure they feel secure in their new role. They are often terrified of being fired for no reason. It’s really sad. i encourage you to ask them about their turnover rate. Or better yet, ask about how long the average length of employment is for their employees. That will give all the info you need. Save your time, your confidence, and your soul, and look into other employers. I promise there are plenty better.

Pros

Compensation, stock options, benefits, and if you're not in New client setup or long term care, a great work environment

Cons

Insane workload, and no understanding of any factors that interfere with one's ability to solve problems with the one tool available to the specialist: working hours.

Our employees' well-being is one of our biggest priorities and we are disheartened to read your assessment. While it takes grit and determination to be successful here, we certainly don't like seeing anyone experiencing the things you outlined. Mental management is important on both a professional and personal level and we hope you utilized our EAP services. We would love to hear from you and encourage you to reach out to our HR team. If we don't, we appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

All the things they give you to distract you from the cons. Gym, lunches, gifts...

Cons

Work life balance, stress, no one listens when you have actual feedback (but they say they do) people are not happy.

Paycom Response

We understand your frustrations and can assure you that leadership is listening to feedback and have acted to enhance processes, training and many other aspects of the business. In fact, leadership actively solicits and considers employee feedback because we all share the same goal of improving upon Paycom’s past successes, which are a testament to our people. As you noted, Paycom will not always be an ideal fit for everyone and we work hard to be as transparent as possible during the interview process regarding the demands of these positions. Our reviews are reflective of the many happy employees and their experience with Paycom that they have been willing to freely share and we are proud to have them. We will share this feedback with the leadership team.
