Pros

The best part of working at Paycom was the people on my immediate team. I met some amazing coworkers and made friendships that have lasted even after leaving the company. The majority of my team members were hardworking, kind, and supportive! They truly made the experience worthwhile. Lastly, their diversity & inclusion was great.

Cons

"Allegedly" Unfortunately, the overall environment was toxic, especially coming from directors and upper leadership. The culture didn’t match the values the company promotes publicly, which was really disappointing. My time and work often felt overlooked, and the role became tedious without much recognition. On my specific team, we had to notify everyone on teams when we when to use the restroom, and our time was closely monitored... which was odd considering how invasive that seems. One of the most discouraging things I heard from leadership was that “to make it in leadership here, you probably need to be single or not have a family.” That comment alone spoke volumes about the culture and work-life balance expectations.

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.
