Pros

- Most of my colleagues were genuinely good people. - The product is superior to ADP, Paychex and Ceridian - Work hard party hard mentality is fun...for a while.

Cons

- A 50K base is not unusual. If you think this is amazing, you just don't know any better. - Commission structure is incredibly weak. 10% of 1st year revenue is pretty darn pathetic when you consider how much recurring income Paycom receives. My biggest deal was about 130K and for that I received a little over 10K in income after taxes. - They make you write a Glassdoor reviews when you are new (hence all the awesome reviews) - Phone canvassing = calling the same people from the same list of companies in your territory twice a week for 8 hours trying to set up appointments. - Generally speaking HR Managers and payroll admins just want to avoid doing the extra work of a payroll implementation. They really don't want to meet with you. - Payroll implementations are done by minimally supported untrained sales reps with very little experience. - Attrition rate has to be close to 90%. - They will actually tell you that work life balance is for losers who don't want to succeed. - Aggressive recruiting tactics, they've got to keep up with attrition. - Middle management is a joke.

We take great pride in our people and software, as such, we appreciate you telling others about our product. At Paycom, we reward hard work. Our sales reps' commission grows with their life-to-date sales, so the earning potential can be substantial. The percentage you mentioned is not indicative of successful Paycom Sales Representatives. Additionally, all employee reviews are 100% voluntary. We follow Glassdoor’s best practices and ask that employees tell others about their experience, but it is never required. We understand Paycom isn't for everyone, but we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

The People Make Paycom - I really enjoy working with everyone I have had the change to work with. As someone that moved to Oklahoma from out of state, my co-workers were welcoming, and I have several current and previous co-workers that I am friends with outside the office. In addition, the clients that I work with LOVE Paycom. It is easy to come to work when you are working with clients that genuinely want your help and enjoy working with you.

Cons

There aren't many opportunities to work remotely or from home in a hybrid manner, at least not in my department. My department is also relatively new, so there are a lot of changes fairly often. I'd like to have more consistency there, but I know that will come as our department grows.

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.
