Reviewers frequently describe Paycom's customer service in positive terms, calling it "amazing" and "great." They appreciate the ability to get help when it's needed, particularly for urgent issues like running payroll. One user notes their representative provides helpful screenshots to navigate the system.

“Customer service I think is one of the areas that has been amazing for us. We're able to get what we need when we need it, which is really helpful if you're running payroll and something's not working or you need something immediately.”

“The previous software provided easier performance plan set ups. Paycom has great customer service.”

“I think I'm trying to find things when you're trying to do stuff in the backend to add things in. If you want to add something into, say the onboarding in your reporting queue or if you wanted to add a functionality, it's kind of sometimes hard to find through company maintenance or other areas. So I'm asking a lot from my rep to help me and then they give me screenshots so I can figure it out.”

According to some reviews, Paycom's customer service has improved significantly. One long-term user who once found the support "sketchy" now considers it "outstanding" and "superior" following what they perceive as a reorganization of the customer service division. Another reviewer also notes that support has been "really well" in the last couple of years.

“Paycom has actually done a great job at improving customer service. When I began with Paycom seven years ago, the customer service support was sketchy. Our customer service rep turned over constantly. Whether or not that person knew the product and knew what they were doing was iffy. The reps had very little understanding of HR in my experience, my particular reps. In the last couple of years, I think there's been a complete reorg of the customer service division that has resulted at least for our organization and outstanding superior customer service support. We're very pleased with that. Don't lose that. I can obviously see that you guys are getting big, and it's very exciting for you, but keep the high level of customer service.”
