Pros

The Good: The company values their clients and works on a monthly basis to release developments based on their needs and the markets to be an industry leader. I can't tell you how proud I felt to be a part of an organization that was constantly working to improve. The training is absolutely incredible. It's non-stop and not just on the product. Paycom invests in technology and they invest in their people in a big way. Growth Opportunity. I was constantly seeing people being promoted into management and actualizing their dreams at Paycom. With the companies growth there is plenty of room to move up! Money. One of the best commission structures I've seen for sales reps in the industry. The earning potential here is incredible. My colleagues. Paycom hires the best and the brightest and my peers are some of the most fun and inspiring people I've ever met. You will make friends for life here.

Cons

If you're a true sales hunter type the work/life balance can be challenging your first year but if you build your pipeline and stick it out it will pay off year two. There will also be a bit of a learning curve so the new people that I've seen be really successful are the ones who can hit the ground running and "fake it till they make it."

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.
