Pros

$4 lunch, great people who are all now trauma bonded

Cons

No opportunities to move up. Promotion and raise freeze for two years but apparently that only applies to people who ask for one. Lay-Offs like crazy. Up until laid off, I made 50% less than new hires doing my same role. Let go of entire Product/most of Software department which included analysts, designers, developers, IT, etc. These numbers continue to dwindle. Paycom does it cleverly so they don’t have to issue warn acts, but upwards of near 500 were let go throughout february. Despite preaching Paycom is stable and financially well, outside businesses know otherwise. -25% in workforce in just two years. No one uses their new “AI” which still doesn’t work. All of the reviews that boast 5 stars are either new people, hired by AI to write, or employees were micromanaged to write 4+ stars. You can tell by their copy and pasted script and copy and pasted job titles. So many people talk about leaving but can’t because OKC has little to no other job opportunities so everyone just bites their nails waiting to be laid off. Do yourself a favor and stay away. The stress isn’t worth it.

Pros

Good benefits, easy HR system. As a product, Paycom is very good.

Cons

There has been too much restructuring in the past couple of years. You will get no overtime pay. A bad developer and a good developer will be paid the same. They do not care about what technique you use as long as it works. Got used to a new process that was released two months ago? They just changed it again. The issue was Paycom tried to fix something that was not broken (for the most part) in Development, and now everything is pretty much broken. You will get double the work but no change in pay. They will try to get feedback, but only from managers, not actual developers who work with the system each day. Even though they inconvenience developers every other week with a new priority, if you inconvenience management (usually because they want Rome built in a day), you will have a write-up. Many good developers have left for better opportunities elsewhere as they also were not getting raises or title changes, even though they're doing better work above their pay grade. You only got a raise if everyone was getting a raise.
