Pros

- Lots of exposure with upper management and C-level executives - Very transparent with all associates. We have what we call “Paycor Pulse” which is a monthly webinar led by executives for the associates. They discuss previous month's results, goals for the current month, any internal changes, product updates, and review current strategies and initiatives - Direct manager is always available for one on ones and extra coaching, but I never feel like I am being micro-managed - Paycor is very good about recognizing associates for a job well done and for hitting quota. I feel like I am rewarded and recognized for my work - Goals and quota are clear and realistic - Each quarter we have reviews with our direct manager. This allows us to receive feedback frequently to always be improving - Growing quickly and expanding, particularly into northeast and western regions of the country - Paycor promotes a lot from within so this allows for plenty of career advancement opportunities - Paycor is an innovative thought leader in the HCM industry, hosting a wide variety of webinars and publishing articles on a variety of HR related topics. This is to best help our clients and prospects understand what is going on in the ever changing landscape of HCM and compliance - Really nice and modern facilities at the HQ in Cincinnati with a cafeteria, workout facility, plenty of meeting rooms, and outdoor seating space. Open seating plan allows for easy access to managers and collaboration with colleagues - Base salary and commission are on par with other positions like this. Commission is uncapped so if you do your job and do it well, you can make some good money - Fast paced, sales environment where you primarily are doing your own work, and creating your own structure for your day. There is also a lot to learn as far as product and industry knowledge is concerned, but you are given the tools you need to be successful - Great work/life balance. I never work nights, weekends, or long hours during the week. A work hard/play hard mentality for sure! - Group happy hours, internal networking events, and opportunities to give back to the community allow associates to meet others outside their departments and get involved

Cons

None, I have been working here almost a year and have loved every second!

Thanks for offering your perspective on working at Paycor. We listened to Associate feedback about increasing our communication. We've stepped up our game with the Paycor Pulse, a livestream of the Associate meeting, strategy blogs and an upcoming field office roadshow. We want all Associates to have confidence in the strategic direction of the company and the results we're delivering. Growth brings opportunity!

Pros

Paycheck hits on time every two weeks.

Cons

I wanted to like working at Paycor. The product has potential and the pitch during the interview process sounded promising. But the reality of day-to-day life here is a far cry from what's advertised. Micromanagement is rampant. Leadership tracks every minute of your day — from login times to bathroom breaks — yet somehow trusts no one to make even the smallest decision independently. You're treated like a number, not a professional. There's zero autonomy, and any attempt to take initiative is quickly shut down. The leadership team is deeply out of touch. Many managers got their roles through tenure, not merit, and it shows. They struggle to answer basic questions about the industry, lean on buzzwords in meetings, and consistently make decisions that anyone with relevant experience would know to avoid. When things go wrong, blame rolls downhill fast. The culture is toxic and cliquey. If you're not in the right social circle, advancement is nearly impossible. Favoritism is blatant, feedback is rarely constructive, and the "open door policy" is a joke — speak up and you'll find yourself quietly pushed out. The work environment doesn't help either. High turnover means institutional knowledge constantly walks out the door. Morale is low, burnout is high, and HR seems more interested in protecting the company than the employees.
