Pros

This is honestly the best job i think I’ll ever have. The benefits are amazing and the pay is more than i ever thought I could get. BE WARNED this job is hard. Never in my life have i had so much stress. That’s the reason why it pays so well. Be prepared to be stressed everyday and have heavy daily work loads and have new procedures constantly thrown at you from management. But guess what it’s your job so you either adapt or you don’t make it. You have to go into this job knowing it’s a potential career. You can’t wake up every day and barely slide through this and then complain that things aren’t fair. You have to be 100% everyday and you will be held accountable for every action you make. I took the job when i found out that my wife and I were having our first child and this job has provided so much for my family. The relationship you develop are amazing and the team atmosphere is very supportive. I’ve had issues with this position when i started to where I didn’t think was going to make it. But my team leader and supervisor stepped in and made sure that i felt wanted and supported.

Cons

This job is crazy hard. The stress you take home can really affect your outside of work relationships if you let it. Constantly trying to adapt.

Pros

Nothing. False promises and complete lack of care

Cons

Hired as a remote employee. I was then told I had less than 30 days to move in office full time. I live in Tulsa.. they knew this when they hired me. Essentially laid off the whole department

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.
