Pros

I didn't know where to put this, but am just amazed at some of the reviews I have seen, specifically the negative ones. Let me first say no company or job is ever perfect, even if you are self-employed, and there will always be someone that feels underpaid or feels like the company doesn't treat them well, the list goes on and on. For myself, I made a career change for the third time, leaving a company I was very loyal to and thought I would retire from, but unfortunately they did not value me or my work or use my experience to it's fullest capabilities, which brought me into a new industry with a growing company that is still exciting to this day. No day is ever the same, I love our leadership and management. I love how Paycor gives back to the community and its clients and my involvment with that. I would say to those both current and former employees, depending on the department, there may be some challenges, but I can only speak from the area that I work directly in, but at the end of the day you control your destiny, so if you are unhappy, maybe it's time for a change, new position, new company etc. Paycor is definitely a fast paced and growing company, so I would say for potential candidates, if that is not for you, then Paycor is probably not the place for your next career choice. They definitely care about their employees and families. I have not seen one red flag in the two years I have been here, and trust I was looking for them in the first few months when I joined Paycor. My manager and leadership are very transparent about the company and their mission, and I understand how my role plays into it along with responsibilities. For potential candidates, do your research as I did on Paycor to make sure it is a good fit. Although this was an industry I never worked in, I did my research on the company, it's software, and it's competitors. Research the website, reach out to someone that is currently employed there. Next, make sure your background and resume fits the position. Companies will train on some things, but they expect you to have the minimum requirements, and too many times I see people not getting an interview, or not making it to the next stage and it is because they interviewed poorly or just plainly fluffed their resume. I joined Paycor, mainly for the culture, sure the compensation package was very competitive compared to industry, but the culture, the atmosphere, the people I work with day to day and the people I interviewed with, were very personable, educated, professional and answered every question I had. Not to count, their software is flawless, the most easiest to use in my opinion.

Cons

I can't really classify this as a Con, but again very fast paced company with a mission. If you are looking for a place to be stagnant and just have a standard routing job, Paycor is not the place.

Pros

Paycheck hits on time every two weeks.

Cons

I wanted to like working at Paycor. The product has potential and the pitch during the interview process sounded promising. But the reality of day-to-day life here is a far cry from what's advertised. Micromanagement is rampant. Leadership tracks every minute of your day — from login times to bathroom breaks — yet somehow trusts no one to make even the smallest decision independently. You're treated like a number, not a professional. There's zero autonomy, and any attempt to take initiative is quickly shut down. The leadership team is deeply out of touch. Many managers got their roles through tenure, not merit, and it shows. They struggle to answer basic questions about the industry, lean on buzzwords in meetings, and consistently make decisions that anyone with relevant experience would know to avoid. When things go wrong, blame rolls downhill fast. The culture is toxic and cliquey. If you're not in the right social circle, advancement is nearly impossible. Favoritism is blatant, feedback is rarely constructive, and the "open door policy" is a joke — speak up and you'll find yourself quietly pushed out. The work environment doesn't help either. High turnover means institutional knowledge constantly walks out the door. Morale is low, burnout is high, and HR seems more interested in protecting the company than the employees.
