Pros

My direct team works well together and is able to meet deadlines when realistic.

Cons

Upper management has no clue what is going on with QA and Dev and give unrealistic deadlines for projects that have already been promised to clients without them being close to finished. They just expect them to be done. It’s always quantity over quality with them. Put out more buggy projects and fix the bugs later. CIO Brad Smith told us back in 2020 that we’re not planning to go back to the office at all because we’re more productive at home and that has changed now without taking any feedback from anyone. It’s always just quick and unplanned decisions from upper management. This “paycom representative” that is responding to all of these scathing reviews I can guarantee is not reading any of them or communicating concerns to management. You can tell because every single response is a canned response that is copied and pasted.

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.
