Pros

---If it's your first job out of college, it's great. You can get some experience to put on your resume to look for a better job. ---Benefits are actually solid, $1 for employee insurance with options to upgrade for reasonable prices. --- 0$ copay for therapy which is esspecially great for all the mental strain they'll put you under so make sure to take advantage of the free therapy! You'll need it! ---PTO is reasonable, not incredible but honestly better than some of friends who also work in the industry. ---Direct managers and coworkers are great and care about you, can't say the same about upper management but that's for the cons sections ---Lunches everyday are catered by some of paycoms clients and only cost $4 for a decent meals

Cons

---This is a billion dollar company run by a billionaire CEO, they literally do not care about you or your life. They want to suck your soul out for the sake of production. ---They keep coming up with increasingly large projects with narrow deadlines and then put the blame for missed deadlines on WFH and not on the fact their deadlines were unreasonable. ---they told their employees work from home was permanent and then jerked the rug out from everyone and are very shady about answering questions as to why that decision was made when we have been told for 3 years that production has actually been up with WFH --- work life balance is VERY poor and unvalued by higher ups. ---the department wide meetings usually sound like a cult meeting. It's like 10 minutes of the CIO talking about what a wonderful place paycom is and how you should all be happy to work there. I have worked for other companies who aren't nearly so cultish sounding about companies who care more about their employees. Let the numbers tell us how well we're doing and stop trying to get everyone to drink the kool-aid. --The pay is honestly bottom tier for the industry. --when wfh was a thing (technically its still a thing for development but that will likely go away when they finish another building in OKC) they expected their employees to buy/use their own computers to remote in, when I told friends in the industry that they were all shocked that 1) machines weren't provided and 2) no compensation was provided for added expenses or those who had to purchase computers, monitors, whatever.

Pros

Excellent benefits. The $1 health insurance and $0 medical bills when partnering with ZERO are hard to beat. $4 lunches daily The company does a good job recognizing and celebrating high performers. Personally, I’ve always felt appreciated for the work I do. Good workplace culture with frequent employee appreciation initiatives.

Cons

The workload has increased significantly over the past few years, but compensation hasn’t kept pace for everyone. Pay increases don’t always seem consistent across employees, even when workloads are similar. While top performers receive recognition, some employees may feel overlooked or underappreciated. The pace can become overwhelming during busy periods due to the growing workload and the department continuing to downsize.
