Pros

Earning potential (commissions take months (3-6 mos) to pay out after a deal is closed , strong training program, leading product in market, $1 healthcare

Cons

In before 7am every day, rarely leave before 7pm, expected to work additional time on weekends for administrative tasks, high pressure (job security threatened repeatedly), fake interactions with colleagues, everyone is secretly dying behind the scenes and talking behind people's/manager's back, managers are all ex-sales reps and don't know how to manage a team effectively, high turnover, very limited career path, extreme micro-management of activities (sending snail mail "gifts" & handwritten letters, cold calls, dropping unannounced into buildings), highly pushy sales methodology. Local businesses hear the name "Paycom" and shut you down immediately due to previous reps burning the relationship to the ground. People crying in office weekly

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.
