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.

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with great people. Of course most aren’t there anymore due to layoffs or them getting better pay/benefits elsewhere.

Cons

I’m not a review type person. But seeing a recent response from them saying “ We set a high bar for performance and hold people accountable when it's not met. Our compensation reflects the level of work we expect.” rubbed me the absolute wrong way. The truth is, you can do everything right here & it still won’t matter. I had never been on a PIP, not a single negative convo added to my file, hit every single quota asked of me, & I was still let go. They can try to say they set the bar high & cut anyone who doesn’t reflect their standards. I consistently or succeeded any bar placed in front of me & they did not care. Or at least someone didn’t. Multiple others have already asked me to come back so they can’t even all agree with their firing decisions. Stay away. This place is not what it once was. Which is a shame because at one point I wanted to be a lifer & retire from this place.
