Pros

Hard to think of any whatsoever besides just the experience gained from the time spent here. Almost everything is built in-house and proprietary so no transferable knowledge of systems that are more widely used in the tech space.

Cons

I dont even want to give this company the time of day for a review. I will leave just a few words that I think of when describing this place: Fear based, Scare Tactics, Sociopaths, Depression, Cold, Drama, Immature, Unprofessional, Old-School, Rigid, Brainwashing, Lying, Stress, Therapy, TOXIC, Numb, Trapped, Not-Heard, Anger. My years with this company were some of the darkest times of my life. I am not being dramatic with this review, this company will widdle you down to being a shell of a human being.. I warn every person I know to steer clear of this company if you value your mental health whatsoever. I promise no $4 lunch or free junk with Paycom's logo blasted all over it is worth it. Ive since left Paycom and have more than doubled my salary at another company doing a lot of the same work with much less stress, and a much better work/life balance.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
