Pros

While some see the "culture and benefits" as a pro, that won't keep employees for the long haul. If you quantify pros there could be many, however there aren't really any quality reasons to work here.

Cons

The corporation employee nightmares are made of. Financialization in its most sinister form. Most of the positive reviews are most likely false, employees are terrified they will lose their jobs in most client facing departments. People cry and have panic attacks everyday. It's sad when management claims to know who posts each negative review, no wonder people hide behind fake words. Why wouldn't they post a euphemistic review pretending things are great?

Thank you for the candid feedback. As a current employee, we definitely don’t want you to feel insecure about your job security or for any employees to suffer from issues with anxiety. Secondly, we want employees to know they are heard. This is why we have our Employee Assistance Program and anonymous reporting hotline and we hope you will take the opportunity to use those resources available to you. Regarding Glassdoor reviews, we can definitively say they are completely anonymous and voluntary based on their terms of service and our participation as an employer. We hope you’ll take advantage of the resources available to all Paycom employees.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
