Pros

If I can be honest, I had no pros I could give, none, zero, zilch. I dreaded every day I had to work. I couldnt tell you what was the worst part of working there --the commute to the horribly backed up office in OKC which made you late every morning, the abysmal pay and promotion tiering, the fact that no one ever looked happy working there, the outdated.... excruciatingly outdated... software (please just work at a modern company so you can see how lightyears behind this place is). Once their tech stack phases out, this company is toast. Theres an entire department of low paying manual QA positions -- this shouldve been replaced with automation engineers about 5 years ago.

Cons

Truly, the worst company in tech i have ever worked for and will work for, bar none. if you have ever traveled outside of the south and seen any of the benefits any tech company gives its employees, you'll see how evil it is to be fooled by Paycoms lowball salaries they pay their poor, suffering employees that have to work in those gray cubes day in day out. this company does everything so glaringly obvious to "believe" in whatever bleak culture theyre trying to sell to the young, impressionable staff they churn through. I dont think anyone outside of Oklahoma understands how embarrassing it is to have this company on a resume because no one takes an archaic company like this seriously anymore in 2022, where companies actually have modern hiring practices, treat their employees well, etc. This company plagues the poor employees with t-shirts and useless swag instead of cutting those costs and pay their people a fair wage. I think when I left around the 1.2 year mark, I tossed about 20 shirts that never saw the light of day.

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.
