Great training, poor work life balance and poor salary

Sales representative

Pros

Training is good. There is room to move into management. The office is located in a nice building.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours. Turnover is very high. I lasted two years and was by far the most tenured in the office. Sales reps are thought to strong arm their prospects. They will sell you on the potential to make 6 figures, but the truth is very little reps make 6 figures. Base salary and car package is very low for the industry. Company does not supply cell phone or lap top.

Your review is interesting, because we have not experienced turnover in our St. Louis office in over a year. We provide our representatives with the tools they need to do their jobs, and do them well. This includes a cell phone and car allowance, in addition to an uncapped commission structure. Many sales jobs are compensated based on the individuals hard work and we understand not everyone is a fit for our award-winning sales program, but we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Terrible Management

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.
