Pros

- $4 Catered lunch every day - Amazing Healthcare and Benefits packages - Best coworkers and direct managers I've ever had - Upward mobility with no degree required

Cons

With the above you're probably wondering why I gave this place 1 star, right? Buckle in because almost everything good at Paycom is a lie. Prepare for endless hours of grueling overtime, ever-increasing metrics, new processes that upend your work with little to no warning. Get used to your current assignment? Get caught up on the backlog? Well shoot, Bob just left us with a huge backlog that's now yours! Now get back on that grind! Did your TL or manager just praise your work? Oof, sorry, upper management got the company into another class action lawsuit, so next week it's time to tighten the belt and crack down on and increase metrics again! Casual dress code? Sure it was like that last week, but the CEO saw someone in an outfit he didn't like so now the company demands you drop hundreds of dollars on the new 'business professional' dress code by next Monday; no reimbursements or compensation! Don't get me started on the pay. Almost all of Paycom's competitors pay the same if not more while offering better pay and similar benefits if you don't count the food.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
