Pros

Wonderful management that truly cares for their employees! Training that supports growth. Great compensation and great benefits. You never have to look far for inspiration

Cons

I really can not find many cons in this position. If you are not willing to put in time with the position and be dedicated to your work it may not be the best option for you.

Pros

I wouldn't say there's any pros. Training is okay but feels like high school, very cliquey and judgmental. You can move up eventually depending on how much you kiss up, but only if you're willing to put in 12 hour days with no time for self or family....but that's the thing....no one wants to be there after they realize how fake everyone is and how terrible the work is. Everyone complains about it and is looking for a way out which is why turnover is through the roof. They don't trust you or respect you as a professional adult which is why you will me micromanaged to the core, and the stress will drive you insane.

Cons

If you're not fake, completely clueless, or willing to be a puppet, don't even bother applying. It doesn't matter how talented, driven, or successful you are in previous roles!! You have to be willing to give up a part of yourself to be what they want you to be, a robot who annoys clients constantly to try to beg them to buy the products. (Which clients are infuriated with on a daily basis). They make you go through an extremely unnecessarily long and intruding interview process to try to make you feel like it's soooo selective and you're a "chosen one" and lucky they even gave you a chance to be one of them. What a joke!

We look for individuals with a growth mindset, meaning they are constantly looking for growth opportunities, both personally and professionally. Paycom offers a platform for those with a strong drive and determination to propell their careers and achieve new heights they’ve never seen before. Our trainings are designed to enhance our employees’ careers, not to be a networking occasion. Promotions at Paycom are not based on likeability, but are strategically outlined in our leveling-up programs. While you claim we have high turnover, we are extremely proud of our employee retention numbers as they are some of the best in the business. We are experiencing high growth, resulting in new opportunities for our employees. Our interview process is selective and we pride ourselves on hiring the most talented, driven and diverse individuals. We wish you the best of luck in future endeavors.

Pros

One of my favorite things about Paycom is the strong leadership that exists throughout the organization. Leaders at Paycom respect and demonstrate gratitude for employees relentlessly - this is obvious by the compensation plans, incentive programs, employee recognition initiatives, resources offered, employee feedback surveys and the list goes on and on. Development and employee empowerment are two core values that the company believes are important and fundamental to employee success. Because of this, many cultural and personal impacts are experienced as an employee at Paycom. The vision and outlook of the future for Paycom couldn't be more promising OR exciting for employees. There is so much opportunity for advancement, upward mobility and the sky is really the limit for what your career can look like at this organization for many years to come.

Cons

My experiences have been nothing but advantageous. No distorted or unwarranted review of cons from working for Paycom to post about for me.
