They will hire people with less experience than some similar companies require (if you appear intelligent, hard working, and eager to learn). Working at Paycom is a great way to gain experience with complex client interaction, project management, and problem solving
Cons
The work is quite challenging - being successful requires toughness, grit, and drive (this isn’t necessarily negative, but the work required can be too much for certain people)

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.
