Pros

Strong compensation and benefits package compared to many companies in Oklahoma. Opportunity to learn fast and gain exposure to product management and HCM technology at scale. Some incredibly talented peers who truly care about their work.

Cons

The culture is toxic, controlling, and fear-based. Leadership talks about “growth” but often operates through intimidation, micromanagement, and favoritism. Promotions are inconsistent and political — I was denied five times despite meeting expectations and being in the role for years, while others were promoted in under a year based solely on who they know. Burnout is normalized. High turnover isn’t addressed, it’s accepted. Innovation is stifled by leadership egos — often good ideas are ignored unless they come from the “right” person. Ten years in, I left with anxiety, CPTSD triggers, and the need to completely reset my nervous system.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
