Pros

---If it's your first job out of college, it's great. You can get some experience to put on your resume to look for a better job. ---Benefits are actually solid, $1 for employee insurance with options to upgrade for reasonable prices. --- 0$ copay for therapy which is esspecially great for all the mental strain they'll put you under so make sure to take advantage of the free therapy! You'll need it! ---PTO is reasonable, not incredible but honestly better than some of friends who also work in the industry. ---Direct managers and coworkers are great and care about you, can't say the same about upper management but that's for the cons sections ---Lunches everyday are catered by some of paycoms clients and only cost $4 for a decent meals

Cons

---This is a billion dollar company run by a billionaire CEO, they literally do not care about you or your life. They want to suck your soul out for the sake of production. ---They keep coming up with increasingly large projects with narrow deadlines and then put the blame for missed deadlines on WFH and not on the fact their deadlines were unreasonable. ---they told their employees work from home was permanent and then jerked the rug out from everyone and are very shady about answering questions as to why that decision was made when we have been told for 3 years that production has actually been up with WFH --- work life balance is VERY poor and unvalued by higher ups. ---the department wide meetings usually sound like a cult meeting. It's like 10 minutes of the CIO talking about what a wonderful place paycom is and how you should all be happy to work there. I have worked for other companies who aren't nearly so cultish sounding about companies who care more about their employees. Let the numbers tell us how well we're doing and stop trying to get everyone to drink the kool-aid. --The pay is honestly bottom tier for the industry. --when wfh was a thing (technically its still a thing for development but that will likely go away when they finish another building in OKC) they expected their employees to buy/use their own computers to remote in, when I told friends in the industry that they were all shocked that 1) machines weren't provided and 2) no compensation was provided for added expenses or those who had to purchase computers, monitors, whatever.

Pros

Paycom offers very competitive starting pay for the Oklahoma City area. The medical benefit is only $1 for employee only coverage. They also offer something called the Zero Card for medical coverage as well for no cost. Highly recommend using the Zero Card if able to be used. The card can save a significant amount of money. Many of the immediate supervisors and peers you work with are professional. Overall the people are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

There are a lot of changes going on currently. As someone who prefers stability the last two years have been extremely challenging. The workload seems quite excessive as multiple departments have been consolidated. In the last two years I had leaders change about every three months for various reasons. Automation within the company has eliminated many positions this past year. Changes have been made to the medical plans so that several medications are no longer covered. This is extremely unfortunate especially because no one was notified until after open enrollment was completed. One medication for diabetes treatment and weight loss was cut, the company response essentially was "we have a gym, please use it. "
