Pros

Benefits, but there has been a recent change that is worse for their employees.

Cons

In September, I was let go from the company. I was tempted to leave a scathing review but did not want to act in my own anger. Now, I need to tell all so that those who read may know the truth of what Paycom is.

HR, you may comment that you want me to contact you to talk more about this, but we all know that it means you want to either sue or hush us. You may be a friend of Paycom's, but we know you will choose the downfall of an employee for a grilled cheese.

Before COVID, Paycom was a great company. It was a beacon of light to other companies, showing them that they could be progressive and employee-focused. However, after COVID, Paycom was not employee-focused but client-focused and would choose to burn the employees on the altar so they could make a dollar. They are constantly saying to take care of the client but will not take care of the employee. Instead, they will choose to gaslight, belittle, and shove the employee to be each client's slave, no matter what it may do to the employee's mental health. Just so you know, there is a mental health week and place for Paycom employees, but that is due to the decline in mental health of the employees.

Paycom chooses to write up employees that call their managers and TLs out. There is an employee who worked there that, when telling their team lead about how he would choose to listen to the male voice over the female's, was written up. Then, when talking to his manager about how he belittles and talks to his employees, he hears about it and finds a way to write them up again. Even though that team lead may have a new complete team every two years due to how he would treat them, they will keep him. Paycom will not reward your hard work but how far you can bend over for them and not ask any questions.

To those that are international, Paycom will choose to threaten to pull your sponsorship if you do not do what they say. There are many people who overwork themselves so they would not have their sponsorship pulled. Paycom doesn't see you as a person; they just see you as something that they can use and will choose to throw you away at a moment's notice.

Paycom has also been having a record of firing people that just came back from FMLA or are due to go on FMLA. Paycom will do everything they can for you not to grow your family or let you have a family while you are at Paycom. Paycom sees your family as a threat to them. If you are pregnant, they will find ways to fire you so they don't have to pay your time off.

Finally, they will fire amazing talent just to save a dollar. There were people that stayed there for two weeks and then were laid off with a big group due to a bigger business goal. However, the people that they kept are ones on the lower side of the salary scale and are low performers.

Advice to Management

Chad needs to choose who leads with him more wisely, and the board needs to look for a more mentally stable CEO.
