Pros

I learned a lot during my time at Paycom

Cons

This is, without a doubt, the most toxic work environment I have ever been in. Work-life balance is completely nonexistent. Working 8 hours a day is frowned upon, in fact, if you get in after 7:00 AM and leave before 6:00 PM for any reason you will be judged. The vacation policy is decent, but don't you dare think about using the time you've earned. The majority of employees have hundreds of vacation hours banked because everyone is either terrified to use them or legitimately don't have the time in their schedule. Now is where it gets interesting. Let me talk about the sales team...... *****MOST OF THE REVIEWS HERE COME FROM THE NEW HIRE SALES TRAINING CLASS***** They are told while they're at training (avg. tenure at this point is 1-2 months) they have to write a 5-Star review on Glassdoor Reps are told to promise all new clients that they will be at 2 major meetings (Kick-off and their first Payroll). However, sales managers then tell the reps they aren't allowed to go to any of those and leave it up to the implementation team to create a lie as to why they "couldn't make it". At the end of the day, prepare to be overworked and undervalued.

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.
