Pros

Growing company offers a wide variety of career opportunities as they expand their client and product base. Approachable, highly talented upper management that seems invested in developing their staff. Also, they're building an impressive, modern, futuristic new building for their headquarters in Cincinnati (plans to move in 2014). Countless opportunities for community involvement, professional development, health and wellness promotion, and other activities for all staff.

Cons

With growth always comes some uncertainly. Roles and infrastructure do seem to change rapidly around here and many projects aren't seen through to full completion, which can be frustrating at times. The sales staff has relatively high turnover (although it appears on par with industry standards).

Pros

Paycor is a rapidly growing company, and this growth provides numerous opportunities for those looking to launch their careers. Over the last several years, our growth has allowed me to play key roles in the development of our newest and most innovative software offerings. During this time, I've seen the careers of myself and other highly motivated individuals take off. Hard work and initiative are a must, but they get noticed and rewarded. Lastly, Paycor is a great place to work. Employees really do take care of each other and are always willing to lend a helping hand. Executives and managers care about our development and walk the talk. From mentorship to tech conferences to training programs, there is an ever-expanding pool of options to help us become masters of our craft.

Cons

With growth comes growing pains. Paycor is not without its flaws. There are some policies and practices that haven't keep pace with our growth. The silver lining is that we are working diligently to remedy it, and your great ideas can be part of the solution.

Pros

Giving back to the community and loyalty are key values here, and not just a corporate mantra. Employee stock ownership in a privately held company, 15% of revenue spend in '12 was dedicated to product improvements which in turn make the job even easier. Countless opportunities for successful individuals in management and the rest of the company. Paycor sales management is reasonable, in fact how many companies would lower quota across the board and increase the average compensation signifcantly? The answer is not many!

Cons

While we've averaged at least 20% revenue growth over the last 10 years (except for 2008), most of that growth seems to be in the established markets. A more consistent playbook on opening new markets and succeeding in DeNovo markets is what Paycor needs to hit truly explosive growth. The good news is that I am confident that this is coming with the hiring of our new Chief Sales Officer.
