Pros

You will have the opportunity to make upwards of 3-500k after a year or two (possible even year 1). You will learn a lot about sales, sales processes, and the payroll/HR world. If you are ready to grind hard and work your butt off, then this is a company for you. Get ready to drink the Paycom kool-aid and fake it till you make it!

Cons

Be prepared to work upwards of 60-70 hours a week your first 6 months - 1 year. You start 7:30am sharp Mondays, Tuesday, Fridays and some managers will fire you for being 1 minute late. Turnover is high for 1st year reps (upwards of 60% or higher) so good chance you won't even make it. Forget about your life as there is 0 work-life balance. You may get 2 weeks vacation when you start but don't even think about taking a real vacation unless you are a top rep. A lot of managers will also encourage you to lose your friends as your Paycom co-workers are the only friends you need. Most managers are young reps who love being flashy (rolex, range rover, etc.) and every single person in management only cares about themselves and how they can make more money - you are just a number, not a real human. Micromanagement is mandated and you will be scrutinized on a daily basis. Crying is encouraged. Good luck!

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
