Paycom

Pay and benefits are great, with a clearly defined path to promotions and increased pay. Catered lunches are convenient and cheap.

Coworkers are extremely friendly, smart, and helpful. If you have any trouble with something, just ask your team and you will get very helpful answers.

The company is growing at a fast but steady pace. An on-site gym with free fitness programs and sports leagues is available. The recruiting/hiring process was very smooth and easy to navigate.

The work can be highly stressful, as management adds pressure to release projects on arbitrary deadlines, which leads to more focus on quantity over quality.

Communication to employees could improve, especially in development. Significant changes are made with little communication, causing confusion and uncertainty.

Traffic at the end of the day is frustrating, as everyone leaves at once.

Quality of lunches has gone down over the years. Employees are a bit wasteful on Styrofoam cups, especially since they give us so many reusable cups.

1. Make the hours for salaried employees more flexible and stagger shifts. This will help with traffic congestion problems and allow more flexibility for things like doctor's appointments without having to use sick time.

Also, consider work-from-home days for senior employees, especially developers.

1. Relax the dress code. The employees I work with would be much more comfortable and happier if they could wear jeans and t-shirts year-round.

2. Please specifically add sexual orientation and gender identity to the nondiscrimination policy and create relevant training for leaders. I know some LGBTQ employees who are afraid to come out due to fear of negative reactions and lack of visibility among our employees.
