Pros

The health insurance and benefits are great. There’s a lot of opportunities to learn various new skills relevant to your career. There are many talented individual contributors and entry-level leaders.

Cons

Leaders often say Paycom operates like a 28-year-old startup when it’s actually just an organization ruled by chaos with no long term strategy. Most promotions and raises are based on favoritism and politics rather than talent or hard work. The most important measurement of success to leaders is that employees consistently put in 50+ hours a week rather than focusing on the quality of work being completed during those hours. Leaders micromanage their teams and are threatened by camaraderie among employees. Most projects or campaigns often don’t have a clear goal or direction, leaving employees guessing. Leaders hold skip levels under the guise of it being a safe space for employees to voice their concerns and opinions then proceed to retaliate against and target those who do.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
