Pros

As the title says, there's worse jobs out there. At least this one has the $1 insurance. It's not worth it though. Read on.

Cons

Ever wonder why Paycom is ALWAYS hiring? They say growth and there's some truth there but it's also massive turn over. I noticed since I started, not that long ago as professional jobs go, hardly anyone's names stayed the same with groups I communicate with. It was constantly a stream of fresh new faces as the last group got ground up. It was like this for almost every department. I regularly see people break down in tears. Lots of stress, little training, middling middle management and micromanagement tends to do that to people. The catered lunches? Won't last, at least as they are. The caterers are already cutting corners to feed people. The food quality has dropped immensely in the time I've been there. Big year end party? It's a blast but again, can't last. Company is getting big and the expense is growing. With them being publicly traded, it'll be the first thing cut when money troubles hit. Finally, that huge growth? There's no way it's sustainable. They'll continue to grow, I don't doubt it, but not at the explosive rate they have. Stock market agrees with me. The stock has lost 37% value in the last quarter. So, work here? If you're desperate for work i would (I do!). But plan your exit strategy before it eats you alive.

We are proud of our employee retention numbers as they are some of the best in the business. At Paycom, we are experiencing high growth, resulting in new opportunities for our employees, not turnover like you speak of. We will continue to offer catered lunches from places like Interurban and Qdoba and look forward to celebrating our employees successes with future events. Despite what the stock market does, we continue to show that we are a high growth company and have boasted a compound annual growth rate of 38% from 2009 through 2014. Please speak with a member of the HR department to discuss your comments further.

Pros

When I first started at Paycom, it was great! They were all about the employees and making sure we were truly a family and it made coming to work so great. The benefits are what kept me there for so long tbh.

Cons

Massive layoffs with 0 explanations, they fired women for getting pregnant (told them the could go on leave…and then fired them after they submitted their packets to literally go give birth), they changed the PTO payout policy and forced everyone to sign it or else they were fired, there was 0 trust in management, if you’re not a part of the cool kids club…you’re ostracized. This place will drain you if everything. Who you are will change and be damaged from working here. This company gave me PTSD and the C-level individual who I worked for was AWFUL. I’ve never been so mistreated and spoken down to in my life….but hey, the pay was good I guess. Just know what you’re getting into!
