Pros

PTO but you cannot use it several times during the year

Cons

If you have any genuine interest in the HRIS space, this is not the role for you. If you have an ounce of creativity, this is not the role for you. If you value yourself and the quality of your life, this is DEFINITELY not the role for you. I have worked in implementation for the bulk of my career and understand the complexities that come with the role. However, implementation at Paycor is a special type of chaos where you are not given the tools / trust needed to do your job. You are constantly fighting INTERNAL battles with *every single department.* Every person in tax is a curmudgeon, sales is filled with alpha male personalities who sell with zero integrity, and other internal teams find every possible way to demoralize you and make you feel stupid if you ask for help. Also, don't take a vacation unless you want to be assigned 12 new projects that are already behind schedule while you are out. Your opinions about process, client load, or the work in general do not matter to these people, yet they are always changing things up to "make things more efficient." The most disappointing aspect of Paycor is they recognize employee dissatisfaction, promise to do better, but they never do. The leaders in this company are way too far removed from its employees to implement effective change. The attrition rate (people leaving the company) is too high for them to really invest in the people that are stuck there. I felt an incredible amount of shame and self doubt working at Paycor and I am so happy and relieved to no longer be there.

Pros

Down to earth CEO who actually cares. Unfortunately, that is all.

Cons

This place will ruin your career! They have no idea what they are doing, trying new (ineffective) things everyday, and making it up as they go while appearing to sound organized. Even worse, they're senior leadership is absolutely clueless about the industry and chooses to hide behind CRM instead of actually working and listening with the people who know what they are doing. It's not their fault, there is no senior level sales industry experience outside of this company and it appears that is what they prefer so they can stay in control of their irresponsible and often erratic decisions. They will constantly preach about a culture that they can't even manage at the most senior level. Feedback is not welcome! You will get run over by CRM micro-management and led by absentee management. Unless you live/work where they are headquartered, nobody knows who you are or cares to listen to anything you have to say - counter productive. Implementations will blow up half of the time, which is too bad. This team works tirelessly to save accounts but are significantly understaffed. They are GREAT people and deserve more recognition for the work they do. The only way to come out of their dark hole is to start over with new senior level sales management who actually knows what they are doing (including forecasting) - and not just by title. Or they can continue to hire everyone under them with no industry experience in order to maintain control of their decisions, preventing any judgement or possible feedback.

Pros

Amazing culture. Genuine care for employees. Work with you on anything and everything. So many company’s talk a lot about how great they are, Paycor backs it up.

Cons

None to speak of at this time
