Pros

Money, it is a challenge but also not worth it.

Cons

Sorry but please do not get sucked into the "fluff" about being a Paycom sales rep. If you have to hire people right out of college and you do not see a lot of "tenured" employees, there is a problem with that. It has such a toxic culture you don't even know where to begin. The managers are WAY too young but that is because most employees get fired or quit because they realize how bad it is. Stay away from this sales role.

Pros

Lunch is cheap, benefits are cheap if you're single , and Compensation is the only thing keeping employees around for the year that people spend here on average before finding a more sane position elsewhere.

Cons

This place will induce daily panic attacks. Constantly micromanaged, they do not give you the tools and training to succeed. Almost every employee is completely burned out, and management is in the dark about day to day processes which leads to people leaving when they finally hit their breaking point. Or worse, you get canned for not hitting all of the impossible expectations.The processes change every two weeks, and the roll outs to the products once a month always break the system. For every development release, the phones goes insane with client calls complaining about said releases and how they do nothing but cause more problems and constant IT tickets. Get it? The clients are frustrated. Client turnover and specialist turnover should be a sign that something is wrong. The expectation that the management has for the PSD department in particular is outlandish. No one can possibly reach the goals that are set, and we all know that if we hold off on a new process that it will eventually just dissipate. New hires are given clients off the bat, without adequate training which only results in clients that continually ask for someone who knows what they are doing and ultimately results in the clients lack of trust in Paycom. If a client ask for billing information on what they are actually purchasing, you get bombarded about why they need to know that and it can take a week to provide a client with a simple billing agreement. What are we hiding here? This year end will be the worst one that I have encountered thus far. With the managements inability to lead, the lack of knowledge across all departments, and the CEOs vision of Paycom left in the dust. I've heard about the days where this really was the best place to work, and yet now I dread working my 45+ hours a week.

Paycom is proud to have one of the most generous health benefit programs and we’re committed to the success of our employees. On average, employees complete 13 weeks of baseline training and receive opportunities for continuous training. If an employee feels inadequately trained, we encourage them to address those concerns with their team lead or learning and development department. Additionally, as the company continues to grow, we will continue evaluating and adjusting our internal processes to better serve clients and employees. The evolution in the organization is due to the successful vision of our founder and CEO. Part of our value proposition is that we are constantly evaluating and enhancing our solution and because of our proprietary software, we are able to make monthly releases, unlike others in our industry. As a tenured Paycom employee, we hope if you have any ideas or solutions to offer that you will share them. We welcome constructive feedback and solutions from everyone in the organization and will share your feedback with leadership.

Pros

$1 healthcare is cool. So are the $4 lunches. You make some fun friends there too.

Cons

Where do I start? Well.... the management and supervisors have a really fun way of motivating you....if you aren't doing well....they will threaten to fire you. You can't keep up with your work because of how high the turnover rate is so sure you have a work/life balance....work/life as in you live at work with the amount of overtime. Rarely do you get a "hey, you're doing a good job! keep it up!" so if you're someone who needs motivation to get your work done...look elsewhere. The reason there are so many positive reviews, is because they make you write a positive review when you start working here (they will say on here that they don't, but they do). They cover all the flaws up with gifts and big events to keep employees "satisfied". Only a couple departments get adequate training, the rest of the departments are a "sink or swim" kind of department.

We invite our employees to tell others about working at Paycom in many formats, one of which is sending invitations directly from Glassdoor. It has been communicated to managers and supervisors that the Glassdoor invitations are both voluntary and anonymous. If you were asked to leave a positive review, we hope you addressed this with human resources in your exit interview. Second, we are proud that we do have so many employees that are both happy and thriving at Paycom. We are continuously evaluating and improving our training programs and will be sure to communicate your feedback to the management team.
