In my experience, leadership is Paycom’s biggest con. There are some fantastic leaders who are dedicated to growing and supporting their teams to success, but there are also a large portion of leaders who seemed to be more concerned with stroking their own ego and listening to themselves talk in meetings instead of strategizing solutions with their teams. Not to mention the horrendous onboarding process I had when I joined the team and my supervisor couldn’t even accurately explain my position and what would be expected of my role. It definitely didn’t make me feel confident in my placement on the team, and this lack of confidence in my leaders continued to grow during my time on the team and ultimately was a leading factor in deciding to leave Paycom. While at Paycom, the culture I experienced was full of fearful employees who were overworked, constantly worried about their employment, and the days were filled with uncomfortable tension when the directors were in the cubes. There was also a tremendous amount of pettiness and lack of professional acumen in regards to employee relations and communication. The lack of respect from leadership was also astounding.
