Pros

Qdoba day is cool, health insurance is a steal for single folk, good coworkers

Cons

Paycom was the most micromanaged and understaffed companies I have ever worked for. Throughout my 4 or so different professional roles, Paycom is the ONLY employer with which I've had a bad experience. There was mandatory OT almost every week, as management refused to staff the team adequately (in my opinion, they struggled to hire due to low starting wages and poor work-life balance). Employees were required/strongly recommended to tell them team any time you step away from your desk, e.g. to use the bathroom (BFFR, you can't handle me being away from my desk for literally 90 seconds?) Even though KPIs could be tracked through Paycom's internal software, we were still asked to keep track of them on a sheet of paper to give to our TL at the end of week (why??) Dress code for non-client facing roles seemed a bit silly for a "tech" company, as did being in-office full time.

Pros

The People Make Paycom - I really enjoy working with everyone I have had the change to work with. As someone that moved to Oklahoma from out of state, my co-workers were welcoming, and I have several current and previous co-workers that I am friends with outside the office. In addition, the clients that I work with LOVE Paycom. It is easy to come to work when you are working with clients that genuinely want your help and enjoy working with you.

Cons

There aren't many opportunities to work remotely or from home in a hybrid manner, at least not in my department. My department is also relatively new, so there are a lot of changes fairly often. I'd like to have more consistency there, but I know that will come as our department grows.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
