Pros

- Great benefits - Competitive pay (especially for OKC area) - Excellent stock bonuses for developers

Cons

- Constant changes in work responsibilities and employee policies. They are having a hard time settling on what Dev/QA/Product should be doing, and each month is bringing new "updates" on what job responsibilities are. They seem to be intent on re-capturing the stock price boom of 2020-21, and think they need to keep changing things until that happens again. - Potential for long hours (or impromptu "we need to work through the weekend" moments). This is very dependent on the module you work in, so hope for good module placement. - Outdated tech stack. The UI has been transitioning over to React, but the majority of work done is within a custom PHP framework - Most of the things you work on are custom to Paycom, and don't build very transferable skills to new positions in the future (custom PHP framework, self-hosted instead of cloud infrastructure, very little microservices architecture)

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.
