One of the lone bright spots in the Oklahoma economy over the past few years is Paycom. If you're not familiar with the company, well, then you probably don't have a friend that works at Paycom. As we've documented on this site over the years, the place is like a mini-cult. Although they have still not hired a company beekeeper, they apparently go all out and try to treat employees like Chesapeake did during the Aubrey McClendon era. They have a company proms, employee health and fitness centers, and even something called "Oral Sex Fridays." I'm still trying to figure out what that's all about. I think they stole the idea from a la mode.
The employees probably deserve all the nice perks. Since going public in 2014, Paycom has had a ton of success. The NYSE company has seen its stock price more than double to $35 a share. In 2015, Paycom earned $215-million in revenue with net income of $21-million. It currently has a market cap of $2.08-billion. I don't really know what all that means, but it sounds impressive and I'm laying the foundation to a point here, so give me a break.
