Great financial opportunity, horrible culture

Pros

Base salary is $100k, if you sell anything at all you are going to make BANK! Their commission structure is great. One of the few corporate roles where you can make 7 figures.

Cons

Horrible culture, one time we had a "mental health" talk where they basically said if you're complaining about the job, it's not a Paycom problem it's because you just aren't working hard enough. When clients leave, we essentially hold their data hostage until they pay a huge fee. No matter what you do / what success you have, it will never be enough. Also experienced sexism as a woman in the office, constantly talked over in internal meetings, not taken seriously, and experienced sexism externally with clients.
