      Pros

      Good benefits, better than normal pay. Have to put one more sentence to meet the minimum in pros because there is not any other pros to this terrible company

      Cons

      Where to start? First off, don't be fooled, this company is not growing. They just laid off 10% of their staff because sales are down. They never went public about the layoffs and only sent an email to clients that their current specialists "unexpectedly left Paycor" and lost a ton of clients and current employees because of the way they did the layoffs. They did them throughout the day on March 7th and once all the employees got whiff that when a manager came and tapped you on the shoulder you were gone, the employees were shaking in their boots all day because of it. Everyone that works here hates it and is looking for another job. The stress level is absolutely insane, you get way more than you can handle in implementation.. All management is clicky and has their favorites, it's a super unprofessional environment where they go out drinking with their favorites every night.. Every negative review on here is 100% accurate and all the other reviews are fake. Trust me stay far away from this company. They are not growing and I see an ADP buyout in the future. Spread the word about the layoffs, they deserve the negative publicity for messing up people's lives and also since they are not being honest with the clients.

      Paycor employs nearly 1,500 Associates who put clients first every day. Our client base and our workforce has grown steadily year over year and is projected to continue to do so. We continue to invest in our product, in our work environment, and in Associate development. We listen, we care, and we take steps to improve every day. I am sorry that your Paycor experience did not meet the standards we have as an employer.

      Pros

      The software is robust and fun to demo. I'm sure there are good things about the company but with my experience in the sales role everything stunk.

      Cons

      Everything is trial and error with this company. Every promise made to me, from the time I interviewed until the time I left, was a lie. If it wasn't for their parent company, Paycor, stepping up and taking care of me I wouldn't have hung around more than 3-4 months with Newton.

      Pros

      Fast-paced, innovative, focus on the client and each other. This is hands-down the best place I've worked and I'm proud to be a part of this organization. The leadership is truly focused on the development of their associates and allows the freedom flexibility to make decisions and impact results. I've never found a better fit that hits all buckets - culture, people, manager, position. All four are what I want and need at this point in my career. Knowing there is runway for the company to grow, I'm excited to blaze my own path at Paycor and continue my career here in the many possible ways there are to do so. This is the first place I've worked that I would recommend to a friend!

      Cons

      Coming from a Fortune 500 company that is well over 100 years old, I hated the conservative, rigid, structured culture and environment. One thing that I now know was good about that was that there were processes in place for everything. I didn't like that at the time because they felt suffocating, but I see why some of them were necessary now. As a newer, rapidly growing company, many processes aren't in place. There has to be a balance between the two and I think paycor's focus this year is to find that balance. They've brought in top-notch talent who can apply structures and processes that will work, while still allowing for flexibility, innovation, and quick pivots that employees need to be successful.

      We appreciate the energy you have for your role at Paycor and for the culture. You're so right about finding balance - we want to grow efficiently and effectively for clients and Associates. You have an important voice and viewpoint in what we do and how we do it. Keep finding and taking opportunities to help us get better.
