Pros

This may sound cliche, but this is the best job I have ever had. If you want a job where you are able to control you future and advance your career by hard work and dedication, this is the place for you! I have only been at Paycom for about 4 years, and I have already been able to work my way up through the ranks from entry level developer to manager. Some other pros would be opportunity and growth. This company is growing fast, so there is always room to grow and learn new things. Another great aspect would be that the people here are world class and know there stuff. This means you get to work with some of the best minds in the industry, and they pay YOU to do it!

Cons

If you do not like change or enjoy routine, this is not the place for you. How we operate today, is not how we will operate a year from now. We are always looking to better our processes and become more efficient. I don't know if I would consider this one a con particularly, but Paycom has a work hard, play hard culture. If are the type of person that works to the status-quo and doesn't strive to go above and beyond the call of duty, you will not enjoy our fast paced environment.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

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.
