Good experience in software sales, but fear looms large

Pros

Gave me good experience in software sales so I could venture into software sales

Cons

Felt that managers did their best to hype people up but there is a top-down feeling of fear that was always there. You just never feel good enough and there isn't a strong sense of job security

Paycom Response

Sales at Paycom demands a high level of accountability and performance. That standard isn't for everyone, but for those who consistently deliver, the rewards and opportunities speak for themselves.

Pros

The coworkers are truly some of the best. The system as a whole is really great and is one of the best in the industry. The campus is nice and the parking has gotten much better. The base pay is not much worse than what I see in comparable companies, until you account for the number of job duties. The $4 lunch is pretty good when you can take it. Most direct leadership truly seems to care about their teams. The time off thats awarded is more than you could ever reasonably be approved to actually take off. The insurance for one person is actually incredible, and offers so many additional benefits. It's truly top tier.

Cons

Despite numerous attempts to try to sell the culture at the company, it has been a steady decline since 2024. The atmosphere is riddled with anxiety and everyone is quietly waiting for the next round of layoffs, even though Paycom doesn't allow the word "layoff" to be used. Noone seems to have any idea what the company's direction is, and despite all of the AI changes sold as a way to make us more efficient, the job continues to get more difficult and the hours get longer. Ever since the specialists were moved to Salary exempt there is no limit to the OT you are expected to work. With everyone afraid for their jobs its become a culture of pointing fingers and fear, and its a given that none of your conversations are actually private. You can expect to be written up if you have a negative opinion or a question about one of the daily changes that are forced through, so noone contributes out of fear. Metrics continue to change so noone can consistently stay ahead of them.
