Pay and benefits are above average

Cons

- Cut benefits recently - Work till you drop culture - Fires employees even after you deliver deadlines that require 7 days 10-12 hr work weeks - Not stable business, most likely going to fail soon - No career growth - Metrics don’t matter - Almost nothing happens or gets done by leadership they are very scared of the stock decrease and don’t know what to do

Paycom is a very unorganized company

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, although they have reduced maternity leave time and eliminated bonuses for many positions.

Cons

You will be expected to work well past a standard 40 hour work week almost every week. Nearly every task you are assigned will have a deadline that is only possible with overtime. Paycom has also had an unstable upper management structure for over a year now and has regular layoffs.
