Pros

Good benefits. You can find good people there but make sure you know someone before you confide in them

Cons

Leadership is toxic and rewards ‘children’ for bad behavior. The more HR complaints you have against you the more likely you are to be promoted. Literally. Those that work hard and respect others get pushed to the side and forgotten. With their recent layoffs they provided zero severance and are refusing to pay unemployment for hundreds of people that were affected.

Paycom is a high growth, performance driven organization, which is also reflected in our promotion practices. We have not experienced layoffs, and in fact we are actively hiring across many of our departments. Although we understand certain work environments aren't for everyone, we strive to cultivate a workplace where every team member feels valued and supported.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
