Pros

Good pay for starting out. Decent benefits. Office campus is nice. Usually standard 8 hour day (mostly 8:30-5:30).

Cons

The training is not in depth. SOPs are laughable sparse, or so bloated that they are fairly unusable. Lots of mandatory overtime. Hard deadlines that almost impossible to reach consistently. Will put you on a PIP with no real support on how to improve job function. Shifting focus on "everyone on site having knowledge in all departments" instead of consistent thorough training for the department you are in. Ramp up in production can happen suddenly with little notice. Promised work from home availability for weather emergencies, and immediately back tracked. Have to schedule your own trainings, but all trainings are mandatory.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.
