Pros

$1 healthcare is cool. So are the $4 lunches. You make some fun friends there too.

Cons

Where do I start? Well.... the management and supervisors have a really fun way of motivating you....if you aren't doing well....they will threaten to fire you. You can't keep up with your work because of how high the turnover rate is so sure you have a work/life balance....work/life as in you live at work with the amount of overtime. Rarely do you get a "hey, you're doing a good job! keep it up!" so if you're someone who needs motivation to get your work done...look elsewhere. The reason there are so many positive reviews, is because they make you write a positive review when you start working here (they will say on here that they don't, but they do). They cover all the flaws up with gifts and big events to keep employees "satisfied". Only a couple departments get adequate training, the rest of the departments are a "sink or swim" kind of department.

Paycom Response

We invite our employees to tell others about working at Paycom in many formats, one of which is sending invitations directly from Glassdoor. It has been communicated to managers and supervisors that the Glassdoor invitations are both voluntary and anonymous. If you were asked to leave a positive review, we hope you addressed this with human resources in your exit interview. Second, we are proud that we do have so many employees that are both happy and thriving at Paycom. We are continuously evaluating and improving our training programs and will be sure to communicate your feedback to the management team.

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
