Pros

None of the pros that kept me at the company for nearly a decade are present anymore.

Cons

Layoffs in 2025 to replace workers with AI were rampant. Now that the AI bubble is bursting, I expect 2026 and 2027 to be turbulent. Stock prices have been in steady decline since COVID, value is now as low as they were back in 2017-2018. No work from home flexibility, UNLESS it is to keep employees working on days they otherwise could not come into the office, like a snow storm. Work from home is for the company's convenience, not employees'. If anyone struggles with a process or performance expectation, most managers respond with "well others have found success, so..." regardless of how many "others" there actually are. You could have 1 person out of 400 finding "success" with a new initiative, and Paycom views that as a failure on the part of the 399 and not the process itself. Metrics constantly shift, without any means testing, bonus structure also shifts wildly from being unatainable, non-existent, and incoherent. I've seen the bonus structure change multiple times within the span of a single quarter. CEO regularly jokes that you either burnout after a year, or your get promoted, and believe me the competition for promotions is incredibly fierce. If you do not have an intimate and personal relationship with the decision maker, you may as well not apply.

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.
