Pros

Great people to work with. Communication among my team is fantastic.

Cons

Predatory dev points system. Catered lunches (which come out of your paycheck) you'd be better skipping. Sleazy management. Details below. Yesterday we had a meeting for the entire Tech department over zoom. Chat was disabled. Facecams were disabled, except for management speaking. I guess it's a lot easier to deliver a slap in the face to employees when you don't have to see their faces or hear their voices. Management announced that we are ending remote work (which Paycom has been doing SUCCESSFULLY for the past 3 years). The reason? "We're seeing a little slippage. Nothing major." Will we still use zoom for meetings? "Yes, I actually prefer Zoom" -CIO. Now how will this move improve communication when teams still have half of their members in OKC and half in Dallas? How will things be any different if we're still using Zoom for all meetings? Not to mention the timing. Immediately after Paycom is announced as a top workplace in Oklahoma for the 10th year in a row. Funny how that works. The timeframe for this massive change from 4 days remote/1 in office to fulltime in office? 1 month if you're QA. 1 month. During the holidays. With not even rumors of this move before it was announced. Good luck. Now I haven't been here long. But one of the main selling points of my recruiter was the hybrid schedule. There was no indication this would change. It's one of the main reasons I accepted the job. It's one of the things I brag about about my job. I have zero desire to move to a big city. For my one day a week in office I commute an hour and a half to a friend's house the night before. We then commute 45 minutes there and depending on traffic an hour and a half back. Now instead of having to spend one day a week in a place I don't want to be, I may have to spend upwards of 5. My reward for all of this? Benefits, salary increase to offset travel and additional costs? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I get to keep a job. I feel as though I was sold a false bill of goods. Way to crush the trust I had and the culture I was beginning to buy into. Paycom is just as disgusting as all of these other corporations. They view us all as expendable. They even locked comments on the Confluence page where employees were expressing concern. Absolutely disgusting.

Pros

The culture is one of the strongest aspects of the company! You’re surrounded by highly driven, intelligent, and motivated individuals who push you to elevate your own performance, all while centering the clients best interests in mind. There is a clear focus on growth—not just professionally, but personally as well. What stands out most is the ability to make a tangible impact. The work we do directly influences our clients’ success, and there are constant opportunities to improve processes, drive efficiency, and deliver meaningful results. If you are someone who wants to contribute ideas, lead initiatives, and see the outcome of your efforts, this is the place to do it! Leadership invests in development, and there are continuous opportunities to learn, mentor others, and refine your skill set. The benefits, compensation, and overall structure support high performance, and the company does a great job recognizing those who deliver results. I highly recommend Paycom as a place of employment.

Cons

The environment is fast-paced and demanding, which can require long hours at times and sometimes frequent travel. However, those hours are purposeful—they directly correlate to the impact you’re making for clients and the success you help drive. For individuals who are motivated by results and thrive in high-performance environments, this becomes more of an opportunity than a drawback.

Pros

Paycom offers very competitive starting pay for the Oklahoma City area. The medical benefit is only $1 for employee only coverage. They also offer something called the Zero Card for medical coverage as well for no cost. Highly recommend using the Zero Card if able to be used. The card can save a significant amount of money. Many of the immediate supervisors and peers you work with are professional. Overall the people are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

There are a lot of changes going on currently. As someone who prefers stability the last two years have been extremely challenging. The workload seems quite excessive as multiple departments have been consolidated. In the last two years I had leaders change about every three months for various reasons. Automation within the company has eliminated many positions this past year. Changes have been made to the medical plans so that several medications are no longer covered. This is extremely unfortunate especially because no one was notified until after open enrollment was completed. One medication for diabetes treatment and weight loss was cut, the company response essentially was "we have a gym, please use it. "
