Pros

$4 lunch, great people who are all now trauma bonded

Cons

No opportunities to move up. Promotion and raise freeze for two years but apparently that only applies to people who ask for one. Lay-Offs like crazy. Up until laid off, I made 50% less than new hires doing my same role. Let go of entire Product/most of Software department which included analysts, designers, developers, IT, etc. These numbers continue to dwindle. Paycom does it cleverly so they don’t have to issue warn acts, but upwards of near 500 were let go throughout february. Despite preaching Paycom is stable and financially well, outside businesses know otherwise. -25% in workforce in just two years. No one uses their new “AI” which still doesn’t work. All of the reviews that boast 5 stars are either new people, hired by AI to write, or employees were micromanaged to write 4+ stars. You can tell by their copy and pasted script and copy and pasted job titles. So many people talk about leaving but can’t because OKC has little to no other job opportunities so everyone just bites their nails waiting to be laid off. Do yourself a favor and stay away. The stress isn’t worth it.

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with great people. Of course most aren’t there anymore due to layoffs or them getting better pay/benefits elsewhere.

Cons

I’m not a review type person. But seeing a recent response from them saying “ We set a high bar for performance and hold people accountable when it's not met. Our compensation reflects the level of work we expect.” rubbed me the absolute wrong way. The truth is, you can do everything right here & it still won’t matter. I had never been on a PIP, not a single negative convo added to my file, hit every single quota asked of me, & I was still let go. They can try to say they set the bar high & cut anyone who doesn’t reflect their standards. I consistently or succeeded any bar placed in front of me & they did not care. Or at least someone didn’t. Multiple others have already asked me to come back so they can’t even all agree with their firing decisions. Stay away. This place is not what it once was. Which is a shame because at one point I wanted to be a lifer & retire from this place.
