Pros

Paycom is a rapidly growing company. They're also very picky about the people they hire. They're looking for people with solid stability who are smart and positive. From the first time I talked to a recruiter on the phone, they were very transparent about what the job entails. They told me about black out dates for vacation, overtime at year end, and anything else that might be perceived as "negative" in relation to the job. I have been in the workforce for several years, so I understand you have to work to get what you want. I've seen several reviews stating people are underpaid. I can't disagree more. This role gives me the chance to make $50,000+ in 2 years. There aren't a lot of jobs in Oklahoma that allow that kind of opportunity. I saw this statement in a review- They promise high pay at first, but you later learn that to earn the high pay you have to do a TON of work- and it made me cringe. Of course you have to work hard to make money. It's not just given to you! Paycom is a good company with a lot of opportunity. Yes things change as you grow. I would be worried if they didn't. If you're looking for a good career and a chance to make good money quickly, this is the place.

Cons

-Mandatory overtime around the holidays (good pay though!) -Vacation accrues slowly in the first year

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.
