Pros

Paycom seemed like a dream come true for a salesperson...great tech opportunity, high base pay, extremely fast growing, uncapped earning potential, great health insurance and car allowance. Add to that some very smart people and a great training program that focused a lot on the mental side of rejection and sales. I thought this was going to be a career I could see myself in for a long time! Oh boy was I WRONG... /

Cons

Where do I even begin? Management has to be THE worst, incompetent, biased group of people I have ever worked under. They treated you like you knew nothing and if you didn't conform to the propaganda and favoritism you were fired faster than you can blink. Add to this the constant micro management and lack or respect from other arrogant sales execs and it may be one of the most miserable places you can possibly work. The majority of the sales people in my class were fired...the rate of turnover at this place is unfathomable! They tend to fire people right after they close their first deals so that they probably don't have to pay the commission. The turnover seems to be built into their revenue model. They can fire you for no reason at all even though you are crushing quota and setting up more meetings than anyone else in the office. If you want to go back to high school and be treated like a kid again then sign up for Paycom. It literally was the worst experience of my life and I don't wish it upon anyone! Do yourself a favor and take your hard work to somewhere who appreciates it!!

We are sorry to hear your experience at Paycom was not more positive. We demand a lot of our sales team and these expectations are made very clear prior to employment and they are rewarded as goals are met. For those who are at or exceeding quota, the earning potential and opportunity to grow quickly within a large company is unique. We recognize the sales role at Paycom is challenging and not for everyone. While we have high expectations for our employees, we have higher expectations for our managers and actively seek to support and develop their management skills. We will share your feedback with the leadership team and wish you well.

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

Pros

- training that will improve your skill - become better at fear management (fight mode is real)

Cons

- you will be threated to be fired- many many times (even if you work extremely hard) - your hard work is not valued- unreasonable expectations - there is not benchmark of success- goal always moves out of reach - no support, managers are more worried about not being fired than helping you
