Pros

The best part of my experience at Paycom was having the opportunity to be trained by the infamous Jeff York, Chief Sales Officer. Jeff is so incredibly passionate about Paycom and preparing people for success. I really appreciate him sharing personal experiences, and putting his all in to training the employees during the on-site training in Oklahoma.

Cons

I'm sad to say the cons outweigh the pros. I was very thrilled to start a career at Paycom, only to then go through a very immature training program. We were treated and spoken to like young children, and in my eyes that only sets up your employees for failure. If you are training individuals to be sales executives, it would be a good idea to treat them as such. The training itself has a lot of valuable information, which I will note was incredibly insightful and helpful. However, with the lack of management at the office I was in, I felt as though I was not being set up for success. The only thing that made my days somewhat enjoyable were the others in my office who blasted music just to get through the day.

Our employees’ feedback is paramount to our success and one of the reasons why we place such an emphasis on our employee survey results. Every survey is meticulously reviewed by members of our senior management team and actions are taken based on those results. We have reviewed your feedback regarding our training program and based on our pre-corporate training survey results we did not find supporting sentiments. In fact, nearly all of our representatives defined our sales training sessions as “positive and productive”, and the material trained on as “very informative.” Our elite training program, as you described, has “a lot of valuable information” and is “insightful and helpful”, but it is not for everyone. The sessions require a high degree of self-discipline and ability to be resourceful, which are quality attributes of successful sales executives. Paycom challenges its employees, and with those challenges come unlimited opportunities for career growth. We are continually evaluating our processes to ensure our employees are top of mind and successful. We wish you the best of luck.

Pros

When I first started at Paycom, it was great! They were all about the employees and making sure we were truly a family and it made coming to work so great. The benefits are what kept me there for so long tbh.

Cons

Massive layoffs with 0 explanations, they fired women for getting pregnant (told them the could go on leave…and then fired them after they submitted their packets to literally go give birth), they changed the PTO payout policy and forced everyone to sign it or else they were fired, there was 0 trust in management, if you’re not a part of the cool kids club…you’re ostracized. This place will drain you if everything. Who you are will change and be damaged from working here. This company gave me PTSD and the C-level individual who I worked for was AWFUL. I’ve never been so mistreated and spoken down to in my life….but hey, the pay was good I guess. Just know what you’re getting into!
