Pros / Cons
- Implementing Paycom was a huge project as my company uses Paycom for many HR functions (Payroll, timekeeping and attendance, applicant tracking, performance management, and license management.
- This function changes alot and one frustration we have is that when those updates happen and we make a change to an employee, something breaks and we have to dig in deep w/ our specialist to figure out how to fix it.

- Overall, the platform is powerful and intuitive. While the initial setup for specific payroll configurations took some effort, the automation it provides for onboarding and employee management is unmatched by other platforms we've used As you add more modules (IT, HR, Device Management), the per-user monthly cost adds up quickly, which might be steep for very small startups.
- They don’t always publish transparent pricing, so it’s hard to predict exactly how much it will cost, especially as you add more employees or modules, also in certain cases, communication is via ticketing or email, and users feel there’s a lack of dedicated human contact or escalation for critical problems.
