Pros

Cheap food! A company party! Sometimes candy if you're a good boy or girl!

Cons

Team Building here consists of your team playing Jenga for half an hour... and being cutthroat about it to win. Don't want to participate and would rather work? You must not be a team player. Fired. Problem comes up. Better hope you weren't involved in some way even if it was caused by the antique software that runs the backend and the output has to be routinely checked by hand because it can't be trusted to do simple math. Suck it up, apologize for not being a programmer and fixing it along with your other work for free and don't ever, EVER, point out it happened because of something Paycom related. Because if so? Fired. Don't like living in the office and believe your spouse and family should see you more than the company mandated family holiday (yes, it's real, it's in October and you are limited on family you can bring, so more than one kid and a spouse and you have to pick) or the occasional weekend? Don't speak out against it or you're not a team player. Fired. Honestly in my time with this company I've seen a lot of people get fired. And it never seems to be because of bad work. It's always the ones who speak their minds and want to actually be business professionals instead of playing along with the idiotic games. I've seen lots of good people just quit first the same reason. It's very much a churn and burn mentality and the turn over rate shows it.

Based on your review, it appears you’re quite unhappy at Paycom and we hope you find a place that better meets your needs. We offer a culture of growth and opportunity unlike anywhere else in the state. We are proud of our high retention numbers and the fact that 95% of our employees reported they would recommend Paycom to their friends and family as a place to work. We understand that during certain times, such as year-end, our employees do work overtime and they are paid accordingly. Now that year-end is behind us, work schedules have returned to normal. We truly care about our employees and that shows in our events, benefits and perks. ALL immediate family members are invited to our company sponsored family events and we are sorry you were under the understanding that wasn’t the case. Currently Paycom is experiencing high growth, resulting in new opportunities for our employees, not turnover like you speak of. Your concerns have been sent to members of the senior leadership team. Thank you for all of your hard work.

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.
