Paycor reviews

Low pay for the crushing workloads. Poor morale across all levels of the company and in every department. There is a clear lack of corporate vision from the top down. The few good people are stifled, muted, or just flat out ignored, so their voices are never heard. The "tenured" employees possess a special level of incompetence, "functional incompetence", which prevents them from being employable by other companies, and keeps them at Paycor. This permeates the company at every level and renders the company without direction or focus from a corporate or business approach. Reporting each day, you see the sad faces every morning, and a level of depression eventually sets in. I have seen people break down in tears, not every day as another reviewer posted, but several times a week. This is not a destination company to try to build a career, but merely a stop-gap necessity or resume building company. Once you leave, and move on to other employers, you realize just how dysfunctional Paycor actually is.

Do yourself a favor and run fast from any position in implementation area. Implementation is where your life goes to die. It's been years of the same issues but the C suite leaders really don't get it. Or they do get it and just don't give two sheets. Employees and our managers need to work nonstop to keep up. Have kids? Well, you used to have kids because you won't see them. I think our managers know the problems but the people at the top really don't understand what they're doing to people. They pretend that they do, but haven't done what it takes to make things better. They excel at saying the right things but not doing the right things. Sales rules the day. It doesn't matter whether we have bandwidth to handle new clients, the culture is to keep ramming them down our throats until we cry. Seriously. People cry here almost everyday. There's all this baloney about guiding principles that include taking care of the client and taking care of each other. Please please please don't fall for the seemingly sincere principles. They are an absolute sham and delusion when it comes to the Implementation area. Guiding principles are truly, 1. Take care of Sales, 2. Take care of ourselves at the top. 3. Blame implementation when stuff goes wrong. 4. Grow at all cost regardless of what we do to people.
