Pros

If you like activities, event's, and Paycom labeled gifts then this is a good place for that. They do have good benefits with discounted stock options, and they have an alright 401k match. This is a good place to begin a career and get on the resume. You work hard and gain experience at a well-known company. I also like that they donate to different charities each month.

Cons

The company culture and communication from senior leadership has declined over the last few years. We don't get bonuses or raises as operations employees. The yearly "raise" hardly accounts for inflation. Especially this year. We need more compensation and less Paycom labeled gifts. We have families to feed and bills to pay. I've also asked multiple times about learning new things and telling my leader that I need to learn more and they refuse to do so, because we are "too swamped". Having such a short notice to come back to campus full-time especially when Covid is still such a rapidly changing global issue is a concern (Omicron Variant). I am highly educated and have a drive and desire to be challenged and work hard. It's frustrating when I can't do that at a job like this. Department's within Paycom have completely different guidelines and cultures. We essentially bow down to the sales people even when it isn't right. Ones of our new values is "We care" but I'm not sure who that is supposed to be directed towards. Right now it doesn't feel like it's about the operations employees so maybe it's the clients? I truly hope that this company can get it together because it has been disappointing to experience first hand the feeling that they are losing their soul to revenue.

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

- 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.
