Pros

Great for starting your career. If you're lucky, you won't be forced out of the company depending on the company politics/priorities. Employee stock purchase has a 15% discount. Started with a great team, then transitioned to a team where micromanagement/overtime was the norm.

Cons

Depends on the teams. You could end up in a team with autonomy or a team that's highly micromanaged with mandatory overtime. Paycom has been doing layoffs recently over the past couple of years. Software developers are increasingly seen as feature-pushing bug-squashing work peons. There's been management missteps along the way, the people lower on the corporate hierarchy always pay for those mistakes. Compensation is somewhat on the low side. PTO has been reduced over the years.

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.
