Pros

The benefits are fantastic and the $4 lunches are pretty swell. I made some cool friends working here.

Cons

This job might be right for someone, but boy was it not for me. They expect you to juggle dozens upon dozens of client emails and phone calls. It would be one thing if you just had to care for your own clients like the recruiter promised, but you've got to deal with literally everybody. You will also come out of training deeply unprepared and have to dig deep for answers to client questions, and the client may grow impatient waiting on you. You likely won't have it all finished by the end of the day, and you'll probably have an unreal number of tickets to follow up on because the departments that deal with the most important questions are not client facing and take their sweet time. If you've got an iron constitution and think you can handle all this responsibility, go for it. As for me, I will keep looking for something less stressful.

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
