Pros

Benefits are great if you can make it, but most people won't be here long. Just check LinkedIn to see...

Cons

They'll lure you to apply to the job because of the ridiculousy high base salary. Then, they'll breeze you through the interview process so they can fly you out to 3-4 weeks of "training". What they don't tell you is that training is just another step of their interview process. They're constantly changing their processes and clearly haven't figured out anything that works besides mass hiring/firing. They will not invest in you whatsoever - there's a reason turnover is so high. Don't be fooled like I was.

This is a performance-driven role where results are expected from the start and accountability is non-negotiable. We’re clear about expectations, and our training is designed to build on existing skills and reinforce how we operate—not to define or lower the standard. Every step of our process is intentional to ensure the right fit, and we’re transparent about that throughout. For further discussion, reach out to hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.

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.
