Pros

I truly enjoyed the people I worked with.

Cons

There isn’t enough money or perks they could offer to make working at Paycom worth it. The management is insanely incompetent, starting with the CEO. The culture that the executives have fostered is terribly toxic. 50-60 hour work weeks, overnights, no overtime compensation due to salary exempt, comp time is highly frowned upon and heavily restricted, butt in chair time enforced for 9 hours + a day with badge auditing and reports. This is NOT how salaried workers should be treated. They do not respect or value your time there. They started pulling back benefits like PTO/Bereavement, paternal leave, etc. Employees have not gotten a promotion in almost 2 years in some departments. There’s constant reorganizations and firings, creating an environment of constant fear and uncertainty.

Pros

The people, we have amazing people that inspire me every day. They are so smart and love to think creatively to solve problems and propel us into the future! The perks and our beautiful campus. We are an in-office culture so it is very nice to have all the $4 delicious lunch options, on-site fitness center and wellness programs. Our landscaping is gorgeous and just getting to give high fives and see people winning is very rewarding. I enjoy seeing all the fun ways people decorate their work space and the extras when a birthday, anniversary, baby, wedding, etc... is celebrated! Overall the pay is really good too.

Cons

Paycom definitely is not for everyone. We are a metrics driven organization with high expectations. We expect people to learn fast, be confident to problem solve and ask questions so ultimately we all get the desired results. Depending on where you live the commute every day can feel long. Currently the city has construction going near the entrances so that stinks but it should be great once complete.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to see it reflect the energy and pride people bring to their work, along with the campus and benefits designed to support that environment. We’re clear about our high expectations, and it’s encouraging to hear how that culture comes through alongside the people and perks that make Paycom a rewarding place to be.
