Pros

Today I had a client that read some bad reviews on Paycom. The things that she read were so far from the truth of what the company is really about at it's core that I felt the need to express my opinion. I have worked for a Fortune 500 company, for the city and county of a hometown where I grew up, and even in the restaurant business. I have never seen so much talent, dedication, and support from all departments as I've seen at Paycom. I really wanted this to be out there in the world for people to see and value. It's something to truly consider from a cultural standpoint when you're evaluating where you want to work and who you want to partner with. But if you want someone that is going to actually care about you as an employee, client, and person, this is the company for you.

Cons

With what I said in my pros, I am going to extend the truth about the level of hard work a company like Paycom expects of you. You will have to put in many hours, especially in the beginning; it is worth every second, though. The reason for this is because the company holds extremely high standards about the level of quality our service provides. You need to understand legislation, financial analysis, product knowledge, business acumen, and excellent customer service. This is not something that comes easy--it takes seasoned workers years to accomplish this level of expertise and quality. However, one of the great things that makes Paycom so special is that they believe in the millennial generation; they give opportunity and training to youth that has natural talent so that their skill set can be increased at an accelerated rate. They're a company that doesn't necessarily believe that seniority trumps skill--in fact, it's the opposite. Honestly, the only person that wouldn't fit the company is the person that is either not fit for this industry or role, or is not willing to put in the work to achieve the success. Just my two cents.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
