Vantaggi

The paycom experience can give you a lot, but you have to be driven and determined. If you are willing to work hard, and often way beyond normal work hours, you can succeed and make a lot of money. The job involves a lot of interacting with other company's executives, which gives you great experience and knowledge of the business world, but it also involves setting up the business you sell, and spending a lot of your time troubleshooting with payroll and accounting folks, which can be a whole different experience.

Svantaggi

Senior leadership protects the fallacy that the culture is amazing. Emails are sent out "encouraging" employees to write positive reviews on Glassdoor. The fact is that reps are friends and that can make the trainings and atmosphere fun, but that the underlying frustrations tend to always become the primary topics of conversation (set up, manager frustration, and wanting to quit). Some managers and leadership were far from mature. My regional would single people out in our office in front of everyone, including our manager, he would threaten people's jobs, and he would even make comments on how attractive certain reps were. Turnover was high and didn't need to be because I saw smart, motivated people give up too soon because of the unnecessary intensity or immaturity of leadership. Work/life balance was a constant challenge as you are expected to answer your phone at anytime, morning or night, to deal with set up issues, to talk to a scrambling manager or regional on a thursday night on why you haven't made quota this month and how you can change that in 24 hours because they aren't at quota, or other issues. Overall, It's a good company with good intentions to learn a lot from, make a lot of money from, and then move on. But unless you have great mentors, the stress of the lack of support from leadership during your harder times, the lack of ongoing valuable training (not just irrelevant mandatory trainings with quizzes that if you fail by getting only two questions wrong, you get a shaming email from both your manager and regional), lack of maturity in leadership, and the lack of set up assistance gradually wears down even the best.

Losing an executive rep to turnover is incredibily rare, but we realize working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and does require added effort, but this is what a company with high growth looks like. It takes a person that is willing to put in hard work and we recognize this isn’t for everybody. Our managers and regionals participate in quarterly training sessions and mentorship opportunities to better prepare them for their leadership role, ensuring every individual within a leadership role is fully equipped to lead, support and encourage their team members. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Vantaggi

* 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.

Svantaggi

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.
