Pros

Paycor has been an absolute blast to work for! I came onboard during the COVID-19 Pandemic in August. I was looking for another opportunity after my hours were reduced at my previous employer and met some awesome people at Paycor who encouraged me to apply to their upcoming positions. My previous employer was a client of Paycor and I greatly admired how they handled things. The interview was very open and honest. I expressed what I was looking for and the recruiter helped me match my skills to my current opportunity. Although I had different plans for my career before COVID, the recruiter and manager informed me that I would be able to continue to grow in my field of interest at Paycor! I was blown away by the offer I received in terms of compensation and benefits! I immediately accepted the position. Having worked for Paycor for 3+ months, I am continually blown away by how they practice what they preach. The senior leadership team does a fantastic job of engaging me even though I work from home! I get constant updates on the overall performance of Paycor and get the opportunity to get involved virtually in many events. Our recent open-enrollment made my jaw drop. I have never worked somewhere that offered such generous PTO and Benefits. I am very excited to take advantage of them in 2021! Even though COVID shook the world, Paycor was quick to do the right thing by pursuing a Virtual First environment for employees. I was given all the tools I needed to be successful working from home! At the time of this review, it is my understanding that I will be able to work from home even after COVID! The values of the company are openly expressed by every person I have interacted with. I am happy to call Paycor my home!

Cons

I am the kind of person that loves interacting with people! Being virtual is fantastic but I do miss having the opportunity to develop personal relationships with my co-workers face to face. Luckily, I have been able to attend Virtual happy hours and charity events to fulfill this need. Besides being nitpicky about my own personal needs, I have yet to experience a true con of working at Payor.

Remote-first company, flexible hours, very realistic/understanding that human beings work here, not automatons.

I have none. Honestly. Happiest I've been as an employee in any job I've ever had.

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.
