Pros

Paycom has completely changed the game when it comes to hiring and training employees. The time and effort that they put into training their employees is unprecedented in many ways. This training creates the impeccable culture that you are bombarded with right from the start. Every employee here is genuinely passionate about what they do and it shines throughout the whole organization. It is absolutely incredible how you are not only a family in your location, but at corporate as well. You may hear negative comments about Paycom and read negative reviews, but when thought about, aren't all negative directed comments towards something or someone sourced through failure or unhappiness? No this is not an easy job. No this is not a cakewalk to making a ton of money. No you are not going to have 100% happy experiences. Now - with that being said... People who love what they do and have their dream jobs still go through rough times. Yes you can make a ton of money if you work hard and truly see the growth they put in front of you. Yes you will times that frustrate you, but doesn't everything else have that effect as well? Bluntly put - this job is not for you if you cannot see yourself working hard to create the amount of success that you want. However, if you are obsessed with success, an infectious culture, and seek a company with incredible growth that has not even been tapped into yet. Paycom is for you Their training alone is worth coming to this job. They train you how to be an executive, not only for this job, but for your life as a whole. 1/160 people get hired and this is one of the top 11 hardest companies to get into. There is a reason for that. Just take an interview and you will see why. They have built this organization to run smoother than a well oiled locomotive. I could keep going on, but I will sign off here.

Cons

Not a con. Just a fact. Training is VERY intensive - for a very justified reason. Being an executive does not happen overnight.

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.
