Paycom Reviews and Testimonials

Worked there for a while and that was the most unethical company I've ever experienced. It got to the point I was afraid to tell people where I worked.

They only hire "young and attractive people" was the exact term from a hiring manager when a 30 year old was interviewed for sales. They also prefer not to hire anyone with prior sales experience because they want them to only know unethical sales techniques. You are encouraged to lie to make sales. I've seen sales straight lie to a clients face in order to get them to purchase "software". This was frustrating to see a small company use 30K of their budget soley for a feature that doesn't exist.

Also, the company forces new hires to write "good" reviews on websites like glassdoor. Then, use their rating on glassdoor as a recruiting tool. On top of that the company has a policy that you can't use your personal computer for work because you deal with client personal information. However, you have to a laptop to do your job and middle management tells you to ignore that rule. That leads to 20-something year olds leaving the company with thousands of bank account numbers, SSN, addresses, DOB, etc. It is disaster waiting to happen.

This is the worst payroll software I've ever used. I can't believe somebody referred to it as a 'Cadillac' and was only unhappy with the customer service.

I haven't found the customer service necessarily lacking but you can't make customers happy when your product is garbage. The core payroll package requires numerous manual overrides and work-arounds just to get employees paid. The add-on features are complicated and almost useless. The online 'manuals' only explain the simplest tasks that anyone with IQ of 85 could figure out on their own.

Most of the features are completely undocumented. The worst part is they are more expensive than any other system that I have tried out.

I'll give them this: they have a great sales team.

I am currently an ADP customer. I am not always happy with them but for the most part they do a good job.

I had Paycom call on me during a time of tremendous transition. I told the sales person that I was not interested at the moment so she circumvented me and went to the CFO of the company which I find to be very distasteful. I hate underhanded sales people and Paycom seems to be ripe with them.

They come in and badmouth other payroll companies too which I think is totally unprofessional. Not a fan at all.

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.
