Pros
Paycor does have a strong product, superior in many regards to all its larger competitors for all but the largest, most complex payroll/HR needs. Teams are small and there is a great deal of personal interaction with all levels of management. Sales pros that perform are treated well. Opportunity to earn company stock.
Cons
Although Paycor can be a dynamic place to work, with a fast pace, and people who care about their customers, in the last few years, politics and policies have seriously limited employees' opportunities for growth and upward movement. Management by activity is the norm, rather than management by results. Paycor's sales organization is obsessed with statistics, which can make a more seasoned professional feel stifled and dissatisfied. You'll spend more time worrying about making weekly call numbers, than closing deals that'll get you to your number. (That's coming from a pro that earned the company trip.) Service levels have dropped, smaller competitors have popped up with better systems. Though frequently used for recruitment and often referred to in company calls to rally the troops, the fine print in the stock ownership plan makes it worthless unless you intend to stay with the company 15 years.
