Pros

You will have the opportunity to make upwards of 3-500k after a year or two (possible even year 1). You will learn a lot about sales, sales processes, and the payroll/HR world. If you are ready to grind hard and work your butt off, then this is a company for you. Get ready to drink the Paycom kool-aid and fake it till you make it!

Cons

Be prepared to work upwards of 60-70 hours a week your first 6 months - 1 year. You start 7:30am sharp Mondays, Tuesday, Fridays and some managers will fire you for being 1 minute late. Turnover is high for 1st year reps (upwards of 60% or higher) so good chance you won't even make it. Forget about your life as there is 0 work-life balance. You may get 2 weeks vacation when you start but don't even think about taking a real vacation unless you are a top rep. A lot of managers will also encourage you to lose your friends as your Paycom co-workers are the only friends you need. Most managers are young reps who love being flashy (rolex, range rover, etc.) and every single person in management only cares about themselves and how they can make more money - you are just a number, not a real human. Micromanagement is mandated and you will be scrutinized on a daily basis. Crying is encouraged. Good luck!

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.
