Paycom Reviews and Testimonials

After having a quite negative and probably discriminatory incident with this company I began reading other reviews to the same tune. I think something stinks at Paycom and the people who work there, particularly the higher ups, seem to think they are above any kind of legal or moral recourse.

Technology is a beautiful thing and there are plenty of things being said that will, one day, either make them change their ways or shut them down if they don't want to change. It's weird, isn't it, that so many customers and candidates who have been interviewed or come in to do sales canvasing have so many bad things to say but "all" of the current employees are happy. It doesn't work that way. Thank goodness for anonymous forums.

I am so glad I came across these reviews along with the ones on Glassdoor.com. You do have to look to find them, but they are there. If you've been done wrong by this company, don't worry, you aren't alone.

If you feel that you've been discriminated against by this company, speak up. Nothing can be done if no one goes through the proper channels (EEOC, AG, etc...)

Paycom in Lewisville, TX has been harassing us for over 6 months now, stating they are a Software provider for HR when in fact they are a payroll provider. It started with the first gentleman (not knowing who he was speaking to) telling one of the owners, after she stated that we were not interested, that he needed to speak with someone that was competent to make that decision.

A month later Katie started calling several times a day, from different numbers, trying every extensions in our office, and will not leave a message. She calls our office, at least 3 times a day before 10am for the same person that is neither in the office nor does this person make this decisions or wants to speak with her.

She is harassing us on a daily basis! At this point IF we ever wanted to look at payroll services, WE WOULD NEVER CONSIDER PAYCOM!!!

Tax issues, told us they needed to deduct 20k right now and they had no reason why. Then they had to give us 12k back because they don't know what they are doing.

W2 issues we were supposed to get them free for two years. and then at 4.75 each after the fact. they deducted 28k and then when I told them I want my money they asked if they could have it in a payment plan.

GL-is a joke they charge you 2g for a converter that never worked and then they don't even offer a importable file into your quickbooks.

payroll issues- their payroll reps are rude atrocities (except Ivory Nice)

nickel and dime you to death

They lied cheated and stole their way right out of our company.

MANAGEMENT is the worst I have ever dealt with.

DO NOT go to this company for anything.

This company is a total joke. No back office or customer service.

They bring in customers with low $ promises and then charge later for everything you actually need, - that you thought was included. I'm a small business owner and we used Paycom for a couple of years.... can't believe it was that long(!). It was the worst business I've ever been associated with.

They made a ton of filing and calculation mistakes along the way.

Took time with IRS and state, etc, and when they were asked to get things fixed, they charged extra fees... to fix THEIR mistakes(!). They are rude and incompetent.

Please for the health of your business... stay away.

The product itself is Cadillac. The service side is broken rusty roller skate.

Response time for the simplest request is usually hours. The help desk is not appropriately named. This Company gives an impression of adversary rather than business partner. You can almost hear the giggle that accompanies the fees.

The transition was the most painful transaction in my entire career. In addition the many thousands we spent on migration was taken up front, however the set up was unprofessional, incomplete, behind schedule and very sloppy. There were many broken promises and only after we approached legal action were the WRITTEN policies honored. I have used 3 other major processors.

Although Paycom has a superior product the horrendous service puts this provider at the absolute bottom of my list. I would not wish this company on my worst enemy.

They are liars and very unprofessional!

I am currently an employee at Paycom and i think there is definetly a bright future for Paycom. There are also alot of things Paycom needs to improve on. I am going to list a couple of things I think Paycom needs to change that will help us Paycom in the long run.

I was doing some calculations on a revenue per employee basis compared with other current public payroll companies. We (Paycom) as a company has somewhere around 200 employees and we produced 14 million dollars in revenue last fiscal year. It calculates to $70,000 of revenue produced per employee. ADP produced 9 Billion dollars of revenue last fiscal and employees 47,000 people. ADP produced $180,000 of revenue per employee. Paychex is another payroll company that is very similiar to Paycom. It employs 12,200 people and it produced 2 Billion dollars of revenue last fiscal year. The calculations come out to be $163,000 of revenue per employee.

What all these numbers mean is that Paycom running about 2-3 times less efficient then other current payroll companies. This is not going to help Paycom in the long run. Paycom really needs to look at their strategies and figure out what they need to make Paycom more effecient. They really need to find out if having 99% client retention is really something that can be actually cost effecient. What good does it do to go public and then your 1st quarter operatin margin is 3 times worse then your competitors. This will catch investors eyes and not in a good way.

As a payroll specialist I find it too easy for customers to call me and ask questions when I know if they have logged in and tried they could of figured it out theirself. This is really great and nice for the customer, but it is not great for all the specialists that have to take all those kind of calls all day and can get all of our tax issues done on time. I think we are very understaffed in the first place. Having this strategy might produce enough revenue in the short term, but its not good for the long term health of the company. In five years, if Paycom ever goes public. We will run into huge operating margin problem and also see an employee retention problem because all of it will stem from our 99% client retention (spoiling the client) strategy.
