Pros
I have been at Paycor for several years now and the number one thing I have learned is that your career and role at Paycor is solely in your hands and nobody else. That means you will have to work hard to be a consistent high performer, demonstrate your skills, and be self-motivated, but when you do so there's a enormous amount of opportunity available for you to advance your career however you see fit. Some may see this as a con, but I don't because nothing is ever just given to anyone, you must earn it. It challenges you to become a more well-rounded professional. Compensation and benefits is a huge plus at Paycor. Our HR team is regularly checking in with employees to gage what type of benefits we're looking for from a company and then actually implementing those changes. They regularly perform market reviews to ensure your pay is comparable to those in a similar role in the market. The market fluctuates so this is actually an added bonus as they're not required to perform them. Lastly, I think it's incredibly rare to have a company with so many impactful ERGs (employee resource groups). When I first started there were only 2 or 3 and now there's 9. I personally have been heavily involved in 5 of them and they are such a great resource to make connections, network, gain leadership skills, professional development, and even make an impact to your community. I'm really proud of these employee lead ERGs and Paycor's continued support of them.
Cons
Anyone whose remotely interested in Paycor is aware of their fast-pace growth over the last several years. Some of the growth can definitely be seen as a pro as it creates a lot of professional opportunities with new positions, teams, departments popping up, but the biggest con is the amount of change occurring on a regular basis. The level of constant change is not for the faint of hard; the change can be as small as a process change, to product launches, or manager/org changes. But if you can easily adapt to change, or you see change as a challenge it may not be as big a deal for you, but tends to be for some. Another con can be proper communication of these changes. There have been several improvements in this area, but with the amount of change that needs to be communicated, and the variety of channels we have to communicate them, things tend to get lost in translation. This happens within departments, but also when changes impact other departments. Luckily there is work underway to streamline communication as much as possible.
