Pros

Great opportunity to make good money. Great training, to maximize potential. Great people to work with. Great company, overall, with good products and reputation. Great insurance and stock options.

Cons

Long hours and lack of flexibility create negative impact on personal life. Simple, no cost opportunities to improve quality of life are limited by management, unlike many progressive successful companies. Too many unproductive meetings that steal productive sales related time, when good people are already working 50 - 60 hours per week. Weekly (late Friday) national sales call / meeting requires everyone to participate from the office, guaranteeing you are stuck in big city traffic that makes Friday night family activity planning difficult.

We agree, at Paycom we have great people and sales training helps individuals grow, both personally and professionally. We pride ourselves on the quality of people we hire at Paycom and the sales department is no different. We have found that those who are intentional and purposeful with their schedules and remain focused during their office hours perform extremely well. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same commitment level to their development and career during regular working hours. At Paycom, we value our employees’ feedback and keep an open line of communication via surveys, one on ones and our HR hotline. We hope you will find an opportunity that better fits your skillset. Good luck in the future.

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.
