Pros

If you do get lucky and are able to land some big sales you can actually make good money, however it generally boils down to luck and territory. Everyone they hire are good reps, and around 80% are fired within year one

Cons

Easily the most God awful place I have ever worked in my career. If you're looking avoid the 5 star reviews they're pressuring employees to make. They keep their numbers up by making people leave good reviews. Its commonly known in the sales world how ruthless and cutthroat the sales division is at Paycom, its a common joke even amoung those still in training anytime they do anything they're probably getting fired. I would recommend working here if you're willing to sell your soul to make money. You'll work 60 hour weeks at an absolute minimum, if you don't you'll be fired quickly. The product is easily the most expensive in a majorly commoditized market so you will have a very tough time selling. Paycom has a very bad rep in the space as well, mainly because they put so much pressure on reps they're forced to engage in high-pressure sales tactics and unethical behavior I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone ever, don't drink their Koolaid. If you're good at what you do you can make plenty of money at plenty of other companys.

We recognize the hard work our sales reps demonstrate and understand this role may not be the right fit for everyone. Success in sales can often require grit and extra time, but we encourage employees to collaborate with their teams to create a balance that best fits their needs. With this in mind, we have worked hard to cultivate a positive and inclusive work environment for all offices. We also welcome feedback and offer several avenues for employees to share their Paycom stories, including sites like Glassdoor, but our policy is not to incentivize any individual to leave a review. If you feel comfortable, please reach out to our HR team at hrmgmt@paycomonline.com, so we can learn more about your time with Paycom.

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.
