Pros

Virtually none essentially. This job has greatly decreased my mental health.

Cons

Extremely out of touch upper management. Management tracks and keeps tabs on all employees with badge swipes. The higher ups famously revoked work from home policies. Because of my job, I’m unable to take time off on tuesdays because I’m the only developer capable of doing a certain action. Management could care less about having work life balance. The new class action lawsuit is leading management to essentially do firings with no basis to cut costs. My whole team and fellow coworkers all have been trying to leave or find other jobs. As a developer, it’s almost impossible to find other jobs though because of the extremely antiquated tech stack Paycom uses.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

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.
