Replacing humans with AI - DO NOT WORK HERE.

Business Outlook

Pros

On the job training is robust.

Cons

Compensation used to be very competitive, but after the post-COVID correction in the market this is no longer true. Humans are being laid off to be replaced by AI in DROVES (seems like nearly 1,000 laid off in the last 12 months). You will be required to sign an NDA not to speak negatively about Paycom online. If they find you have, you will be sued, and many already have been.

As a growing business, we remain adaptable and continually seek innovations that strengthen our evolving environment. While we leverage technology to enhance efficiency and productivity, we also recognize the invaluable role that human skills and expertise play in delivering on our mission and driving our overall success. At Paycom, we maintain integrity and honesty in our communications, and we do not misrepresent information. We conducted a workforce restructuring that impacted only certain back-office roles, and we maintain that client-facing positions were not affected by these changes. As an organization, we’re committed to upholding high standards of performance and excellence and operate in a culture where hard work and dedication are fundamental to our success. If you would like to discuss your experience further, our team is available at hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.
