Pros

The pay was decent and the benefits were good.

Cons

This place is just a big mess! Nobody really knows what they are doing here, and if you say something, nothing ever gets done about it. One of the biggest cons was the Paycom system, be ready to start submitting ticket after ticket because the system is such trash. If I were a client I would definitely not be using their system. Another con was the overload of work that payroll specialists have to take on. The training at this place is pretty horrible and you will just be thrown in without the proper training. You will face system error after system error! The worst part was asking someone a question and they would just tell you to ask someone else , so then you would ask another person and that person wouldn't know or tell you to ask someone else! I believe this all leads back to the lack of management from the CEO Chad Richison. He has a great company but doesn't really know what all is happening under him! He needs to just drain the swamp and get people that actually know what they are doing! Also, be careful with the reviews on here because most of them are done by new hires during training as an activity. This place just needs some help!

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.
