Pros

Not a bad company, everyone in upper and middle management has moved up through the company, so it's nice to know there's room to grow. Everyone in my department was really cool and easy to work with, although the sales people made the work environment way less enjoyable.

Cons

Minimal training, definitely a sink or swim after being thrown into the deep end kind of mentality so the first couple months are rough. Work/Life balance is way off and they don't pay nearly enough for the stress. They promised a much higher annual commission than what was realistic. Very corporate and stuffy work environment.

Pros

Working for Paycom is extremely rewarding. I came from a call center environment where I was treated as a number, this could not be more opposite at Paycom. It is a small office enviroment where you are able to get one on one attention with your manager in order to thrive in your territory. The training process is extensive and difficult, but gives you the tools to succeed. At the end of the 4 week training, you go to Corporate Headquarters in Oklahoma City and meet top executives in the company such as the CEO and CFO. In a company that is expotentially growing and is publicly traded, this is a real rarity and really special. Being able to meet the leaders of the organization I work for was incredible. It is very cool to interact with the individuals who built the company and discuss their journey with them. The benefits are fantastic as they offer extremely affordable healthcare for $1!! At Paycom, I feel like I am truly valued and heard. It's an amazing organization to be a part of and I could not be happier to be employed with a company that truly values me as an employee and does not just count me as a number. I feel that the people in the organization truly want to see me succeed and want to help me succeed.

Cons

I would not necessarily say that there are any true downsides to the job. A lot of reviews discuss the work/life balance. This is true to a degree, it does require hard work and sometimes that means long hours, but the compensation and the rewards associated with giving the job your all far outweigh any negatives of having to work your absolute hardest. The job challenges you in the best way and it is incredible to see your hard work pay off.

Pros

Paycom has not only developed me professionally but also personally. I feel like I am truly making an impact even at an internship level. The culture makes it enjoyable to come to work everyday. The leaders of the company set a great example for all employees. They invest time into training and development and make you feel valued for the work that you do.

Cons

Not necessarily a con- but you definitely have to work hard to be rewarded.
