Pros

Good pay with frequent raise opportunities depending on your position. $1/pay period health insurance. For the most part everyone works really hard except a few bad apples. Extensive training that continues throughout employment. Can move up fairly quickly if you are willing to put yourself out there. Most senior management have worked their way up and are willing to do the same work as everyone else.

Cons

INTENSE work load. It seems like everyone is extremely stressed out right now. Seeing people in tears isn't incommon recently. Client load per specialist just isn't realistic as we have continued to grow and now sell to larger clients who on average have a large amount of products. Now that sales reps are targeting larger companies client load needs to be re-assessed. Clients on average have a lot more products than before which means specialists need to spend more time with them to ensure we provide the customer service we pride ourselves on. There are unrealistic expectations that are causing great employees to burn out. I often wonder if it is worth it myself. People higher up in the company have no problem expressing their religious views during company wide meetings. At our annual Paycom Prom everyone was led in prayer before the meal. I felt extremely uncomfortable by this. I am not religious and do not usually participate in such activities but I felt pressured to in this environment. As a company with 1000+ employees I expected those types of things to not be discussed on a company wide level.

Working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and does require added effort, but this is what a company with 49% growth looks like. It takes a person that is willing to put in the hard work and we appreciate your willingness to provide exceptional service. Our compensation structure is highly competitive and is in-line or better than averages posted by the Department of Labor. As a company, we support diversity and an individual’s right to religious beliefs. We treat everyone with the same respect and consideration, regardless of their religion (or lack thereof). We recognize your concerns and will pass these onto members of our senior leadership team.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
