Pros

Decent base salary. Co-workers.

Cons

You won't have a life. Period. They will expect you to eat, drink, and speak Paycom 24/7 (drink the Paycom koolaid). If you have friends, a family, hobbies, or general activities outside of work, this is NOT the job for you. This is an extremely corporate job where "Paycom standards" have to be met on a weekly basis or you'll get written up/fired. Micromanagement is so unbelievable you'll think you're in preschool again. If you're a seasoned professional with sales experience, your head will spin in disbelief and amazement. Don't be fooled by the awesome "culture" they promote. Expect to be working 70-80 hour work weeks with 5 days off TOTAL a year (I'm serious). There is no cushion for "off days" and you'll expect to be in constant contact with your Manager e.g. "send me a picture of where you are?" There is absolutely ZERO trust in your abilities and are constantly under the microscope. Local management is so fake and superficial it's unreal. Look elsewhere unless you're desperate...

Sales representative roles are fast-paced and require cooperation with management. We clearly outline expectations, the effort required and what it takes to be successful during the interviewing process. Our employees receive a combination of PTO, sick leave, personal days and company holidays within their first year – far surpassing the “5 days off total” you describe. Our goal is to work closely with new sales representatives so they are supported and receive continuous coaching. We want our employees to be successful in whatever role they serve at the company. Paycom seeks candidates from a variety of sources, including universities, and we believe the new graduates we hire have a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow in their career here. We appreciate your feedback and wish you success in your future endeavors.

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.
