Pros

-Training is great -You can make 200k+ in your second year and on (first year you don't get much commission, don't be fooled) -Great experience for an entry level sales job -You work with cool young people.

Cons

-Extreme micromanaging (borderline, no not borderline, it is abusive) -You can be fired at any moment. 0% job security -No work/life balance. You are working 8-12 hour days with no time off. -Cold calling boiler room style (this might not be a con if you enjoy cold calling) -My training class started with 20 reps, 12 months later 4 reps remained at Paycom and 2 out of the 4 were job searching

Thank you for your feedback. HR technology is a fast and growing business with tremendous opportunity. That being said, we understand that working at Paycom isn’t for everyone and that our rapid growth can be overwhelming for some. Further, our goal is to create a supportive environment for all of our employees so we take the term “abusive” seriously and strongly encourage you to contact the HR department to discuss further. Paycom does offer a challenging and rewarding job opportunity as we are competing with and winning business from established competitors in the industry thanks to our proprietary product and sales executives. We appreciate your feedback as we’re always looking for ways to improve across the company. We wish you the best moving forward and hope to hear from you.

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.
