Pros

When they do pay you, the pay is above average.

Cons

My experience as of late has been deeply disappointing and stressful due to a number of serious issues developing at Paycom. First and foremost, the company culture has become toxic. Leadership regularly changes and they all change policies without any input from the people those changes directly impact. There is no communication, no transparency, and no regard for how decisions affect day to day operations or employee morale. Compensation is another major issue. Promises are made during the hiring process that are later walked back or never fulfilled. Pay has been withheld or delayed even though, according to the commission/bonus structure, it should have been awarded. When concerns are raised, they’re often ignored or brushed aside. It’s incredibly demoralizing to be working hard only to worry if you’ll actually be paid for it. To make matters worse, layoffs have been happening in complete silence. No announcements, no support, no reassurances. People just disappear from one day to the next, and the rest of us are left in fear, wondering who’s next. Morale is at an all-time low, and yet the workload keeps growing. Management expects more output, more responsibility, and longer hours—despite cutting staff and offering no additional support. This is not a sustainable or respectful way to treat employees. The culture of fear, lack of honesty, and disregard for employee wellbeing makes it an extremely difficult and unhealthy place to work.

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.
