Pros

I truly enjoyed the people I worked with.

Cons

There isn’t enough money or perks they could offer to make working at Paycom worth it. The management is insanely incompetent, starting with the CEO. The culture that the executives have fostered is terribly toxic. 50-60 hour work weeks, overnights, no overtime compensation due to salary exempt, comp time is highly frowned upon and heavily restricted, butt in chair time enforced for 9 hours + a day with badge auditing and reports. This is NOT how salaried workers should be treated. They do not respect or value your time there. They started pulling back benefits like PTO/Bereavement, paternal leave, etc. Employees have not gotten a promotion in almost 2 years in some departments. There’s constant reorganizations and firings, creating an environment of constant fear and uncertainty.

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.
