Pros

Catered lunch You have the opportunity to work with good people

Cons

Everything. I would never recommend anyone to work here unless they absolutely had to. This is a psychologically unsafe work environment.

Pros

High pay Great benefits $4 on site lunches

Cons

- Almost every aspect besides those listed in Pros - CEO is utterly horrible - Management is completely unable to effectuate change and often incompetent - Constant shifts in priority without any warning or indication why - Constant policy, procedure, and process updates often times literally before the previous change is even fully implemented

While our mission hasn’t changed, how we execute continues to evolve with business priorities and client needs. Our leadership team brings experience to those decisions, and expectations stay clear even as processes shift. For further discussion, contact hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.

Pros

The pay is good. That’s it. It’s the only reason people stay as long as they do.

Cons

This company will run you into the ground and make it feel normal. The culture is built on pressure, control, and fear—where your value is tied solely to what you produce right now. Not your tenure, not your loyalty, not your growth. Just output. And I can promise you- even that runs out, you can be a top producer and you still will not matter, look deep into LinkedIn and see how many top producers have turned over in just 6 months, and even scarier the last year. You will be expected to sacrifice your time, your energy, and eventually your sense of self just to keep up. Nights, weekends, early mornings—it doesn’t matter. The expectation is that work comes first, always. And no, that extra time isn’t compensated. Being on mandatory trainings on a Saturday morning while leadership tells you “our competitors are out enjoying life, but we’re here grinding” isn’t motivating—it’s a clear reflection of how little your time is respected. The unspoken rule is simple: don’t question anything. The moment you push back—even respectfully—you’re labeled as a problem. There is a very real understanding that if you don’t fall in line, you won’t last. And the most frustrating part? It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been there. 1 year, 5 years, 10+ years—you are completely replaceable. Loyalty is not rewarded. It’s ignored. If you look around—or even check publicly—you’ll notice the pattern: people don’t stay because they feel valued. They stay because the money is just enough to justify putting up with it… until it isn’t.

With your tenure at Paycom, you’re familiar with the standard: Sales is a high expectation role, and success depends on consistent performance over time. The work is demanding, and that’s intentional. For reps who commit, execute and deliver results consistently, the rewards and opportunities are substantial.
