      Pros

      Great compensation package, including base pay + Benefits Opportunity for quick advancement Great, young, co-workers Fast growing Not afraid of change Great continual learning environment Fantastic team setting

      Cons

      Inexperienced management that got promoted just because they have been there longer than everyone one else, the result of incredibly high turnover, leads to bad leadership at a lower level and many mistakes on a daily operations level. Negative atmosphere, because the majority of people in the service department do not like there jobs. The workload from client list is only manageable at slower times, but the majority of the time it is almost impossible for even experienced specialist to keep up. Blackout period did not seem too bad of a thing at first, but combine no time off around the holiday season for time with families with working 60 hours a week and its a nightmare. Some of these cons are driven by the fiduciary responsibility to make as much money for your investors as possible.

      In the Pros, you listed “Fast growing” and Paycom has grown fast. In 2016, the company experienced 46% revenue growth. With growth comes challenges such as developing and implementing new processes to support our current clients and our employees, while also establishing a sustainable foundation. Those challenges take time and commitment, but we believe our employees are up to the task. We also understand that the pace or the type of work may not be for everyone and we wish those success in their future endeavors. It has always been the company’s practice to clearly communicate the blackout period and expectations to job candidates. Additionally, after listening to employee feedback, we recently increased PTO accruals for every employee. You are correct. As a publicly traded company, we have a responsibility to our investors. Paycom understands how important our employees are and want them to be successful. It’s a team effort across the entire organization. We will be sure to share your feedback with the leadership team.

      Pros

      Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

      Cons

      Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

      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.
