Pros

Base salary for sales is higher than most other organizations. If you are new to sales, the training is phenomenal and will serve you well in the future. This is a great job for new college graduates with no family, friends, or social life.

Cons

Paycom is somehow micro-managing themselves out of business. As a Customer Relations Rep (advertised at Account Executive) they will pay you $95K base salary, and offer perks such as vacation incentives, designer sunglasses, etc. -- At that salary rate, they are attracting experienced sales talent. However, once they get them onboard, they do everything they can to never allow you to think for yourself again. Every single meeting you have will be tracked. Every single sales process must follow the framework they have developed. Are you a strategic thinker? It doesn't matter at Paycom. You will follow their process regardless of the nuance you may be trying to work through. Its like working for Paycom zombies who just repeat the same things over and over again. Did you BAMFAM? Did you do your analysis? Impact...BETI....blah blah blah No one at Paycom has ever had an original thought. I wouldn't be surprised if upper management meetings are just writing buzzwords on a whiteboard. I began at Paycom as a GREAT employee, my references were outstanding and I have excelled at every job I have ever had. I left Paycom dejected, exhausted, and having to rebuild my confidence in myself. I literally took months to mentally recover from my experience at Paycom. If you have any sales experience at all BEWARE of Paycom. Do not let the high base salary trap you.

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.
