Pros

My TSR team was great. The TSR's in my office were always helpful.

Cons

I'm not sure where to begin with the downside of being a TSR at Paycom. These positive reviews are from new hire training class that haven't taken on clients yet. The tenure of TSR's are UNDER one year at Paycom before leaving. My mental and physical health took a toll while I was here. There were days/nights that I would work over 12 hours at a time, and still wasn't getting all my work done. The company expects very unrealistic timelines and different "processes" are put into place every Friday during the department call - it's very unorganized. For instance, for timelines, TSR's have only 3 months to get out of a deal with training on products, and then they are expected to make sure their clients usage is very high to get out. The culture at the company is none that I've ever see before. Sales sells the Paycom products (overpromises and then the TSR's have to break the news to the client that the product doesn't work the way that sales told them it would). My team has always said "TSR's make up for the sales teams mess". Sales tells the clients what they want to hear to make their commission check. It's that simple. Before accepting the position, ask the recruiter what the biggest pain points are of the TSR job. See what they say, ask them about the tenure of a TSR. Please do not put yourself in this situation, TSR's typically don't last more than a year here. TSR's and the team that they work with to configure the Paycom system with are always pointing fingers at whose fault it is that something hadn't gone right. I had a stable, great job and was so sold on the opportunity that the recruiter offered (money, car allowance, commissions, bonuses, $1 benefits, etc).

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.
