Pros

I loved being able to meet with prospects, Paycom's technology was outstanding, and the overall job was competitive and fun.

Cons

Where do I start? What's funny is, they give you surveys on the job that are mandatory to fill out and your manager can see your responses, so you're forced to say something nice. The entire time I was at Paycom, I never received any help or training from my peers or manager - and they prided themselves on that. They force you to do an extensive amount of work during your first 3 months to weed you out. Several of my friends that worked for Paycom actually warned me about their toxic work environment before I started.. now I know why. I received several "written warnings" on petty tasks that should have been discussed before being written up. Then when asked about the seriousness of these "written warnings" I was told they weren't anything to worry about. This was a complete lie. The entire time they were "trying" to find anything they could to kick me out the door and when they couldn't find anything, they over-exaggerated the small things. The company is run by what could be micromanaging teenagers who bully and discriminate against anyone who isn't exactly like them. I would NEVER recommend Paycom to a friend or colleague.

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.
