  • It has increased our ability to communicate with our employees, which is always a benefit when it comes to retention. People feel valued when they feel heard, and having that communication back and forth is key to that.

  • I would think the most time would come from applicant tracking and I don't think that's a Paycom issue necessarily. I think it was a training issue during implementation. I would say that that has improved now that we had onsite training. But initially the applicant tracking piece can be difficult when you're used to just using an ATS. That's specifically for talent acquisition because there's a lot of nuances that goes into the system that Paycom bills.

  • I think positive. It just streamlined a lot of things that we were doing manually. We're going paperless and Paycom was part of that process. The fact that we're able to remove all those forms, all those checklists really for at least for my department, freed up a lot of our time to focus on higher level kind of things that we have to finish with the company. I think that just streamlining basically, and just making our job easier. Whatever we can think of, like, oh, can Paycom do it? We'll go through Paycom and it works pretty seamlessly.

  • I think our fiscal team who handles the ROI would say that it has had a negative impact just because a lot of stuff is a la carte and we weren't aware of that before we went into a business relationship with Paycom. So I think it's had a negative impact.

  • So I would say in the very beginning it was very negative because they set it up wrong. So what is that going to say? Right? What I said in the very beginning, it's going to put out what you put in. They put everything in wrong. So everybody thinks Paycom is a horrible thing that are out in our field. It's not Paycom's fault person that created it. So we've had to work through all of that to get that. It's not Paycom, it's not its fault, it's the person that set it up. So I think to me that's been the hardest thing to overcome but we've been working on it. And how would you feel about it now after I feel much better about it. I was feeling really good until the Equifax and the moment the Equifax went out, it really put a damper on our leadership of trust. And so I feel like if that wouldn't have happened, we would gone through with a conversion, I would've gotten PAS approved. So many things were waiting on this one thing, then the Equifax went out and it lost total trust. And so I'm trying to rebuild what I worked a year for. So that's hard
