Pros

If I can be honest, I had no pros I could give, none, zero, zilch. I dreaded every day I had to work. I couldnt tell you what was the worst part of working there --the commute to the horribly backed up office in OKC which made you late every morning, the abysmal pay and promotion tiering, the fact that no one ever looked happy working there, the outdated.... excruciatingly outdated... software (please just work at a modern company so you can see how lightyears behind this place is). Once their tech stack phases out, this company is toast. Theres an entire department of low paying manual QA positions -- this shouldve been replaced with automation engineers about 5 years ago.

Cons

Truly, the worst company in tech i have ever worked for and will work for, bar none. if you have ever traveled outside of the south and seen any of the benefits any tech company gives its employees, you'll see how evil it is to be fooled by Paycoms lowball salaries they pay their poor, suffering employees that have to work in those gray cubes day in day out. this company does everything so glaringly obvious to "believe" in whatever bleak culture theyre trying to sell to the young, impressionable staff they churn through. I dont think anyone outside of Oklahoma understands how embarrassing it is to have this company on a resume because no one takes an archaic company like this seriously anymore in 2022, where companies actually have modern hiring practices, treat their employees well, etc. This company plagues the poor employees with t-shirts and useless swag instead of cutting those costs and pay their people a fair wage. I think when I left around the 1.2 year mark, I tossed about 20 shirts that never saw the light of day.

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.
