Pros

I worked with some of the best people at Paycom. The health benefits are great.

Cons

They work you to the bone and then more. No work from home options even on snowy/icy days. Very inflexible with time, if you have a family, it won't work out. Micromanaged like a child. No movement within the company at the moment. When I was hired on over 2 years ago, things were better. I could go on forever, but my previous review was deleted because it was so harsh, so just know that I wouldn't recommend working here.

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.
