Pros

Lots of free stuff and parties, decent benefits

Cons

Paycom may be the worst company I've worked for. The give you fake titles to make you feel special but terrible pay although they throw lots of parties and give you gifts. *No one wants free food they want to be able to pay their bills.* my concerns that were brought to my supervisor were ignored. I was given a promotion with quadruple the workload but not offered a raise. When I quit, I emailed HR to ask how I could get my things and I was not emailed back but my things were thrown on my porch weeks later and anything glass or ceramic was broken. It's a good company to work for until you can get a real job. This is not a career and I know for a fact they post fake Glassdoor reviews talking about how wonderful they are. Don't buy into it.

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.
