Pros

They hire great people so you’ll have friends to complain about your job with. If you are really good at your job they pay well, especially in the outside sales role. They have also increased pay in other roles as well (but that’s mostly because they can’t keep people from quitting. $1 medical insurance.

Cons

Everything else. First of all, 90% of the perks you’ll hear about are only for Oklahoma employees. This review is for all other offices and a compilation of multiple people who have left as they are too scared to write their own reviews. Yes that’s right, people have been threatened and others so emotionally raw they just want to leave Paycom behind and try to pick up the pieces of their lives. I’m a hard worker so i was always successful and even then i was always miserable here. They have zero trust of their employees. They lie when you interview so you get caught up and then once you start it doesn’t take long to start realizing all the promises they make are lies. In my time there I saw insane turnover like I’m talking an entire office will be 90% new employees (less than a year) at any given time. That’s across multiple roles. The clients notice this too. It’s one of the complaints i would get most often. Every few months metrics and rules change which i actually didn’t mind as much as other things but it can be frustrating especially once you know what works for you and your clients but are forced to change just to see numbers plummet nationwide. Very high stress. You either gain or lose a ton of weight working here, depends on how stress affects you. A lot of crying happens here and I have known multiple people need therapy after leaving. They totally mess you up mentally, it feels like an abusive relationship. The management doesn’t care about anyone but themselves and the people above them which will eventually lead to them self destruct as there are zero big picture thinkers ,only followers. They will try to scam you on commissions and try to manipulate you in to giving others your commissions based on policies that don’t exist. After you leave they will not pay you your earned commissions either. I could go on for days but overall, if you have never worked anywhere and are fresh out of college it might be a good fit because you won’t know better, otherwise run run run run run.

We’re sorry to see your experience at Paycom wasn’t more positive. We understand that the demands of our sales positions will not be a good fit for everyone. Our current growth and vigorous dedication to innovation and improvement may result in employees feeling outside of their comfort zone. While we have high expectations of our employees, we also have higher expectation for our managers and actively seek to support and develop their management skills. We will share your feedback with the leadership team and wish you well.

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.
