Pros

Benefits are phenomenal, but that’s about it. Get ready to be overworked and stressed!

Cons

-requirement of weekly 6 hour ‘best practice’ meeting where you are expected to go on site for 6 hours and upsell. Super technical and you get in trouble for missing any (even though most clients decline them) (everyone dreads them every week) -micromanagement from managers and directors -everyone at paycom is terrified of their immediate supervisor -extremely expensive software -Clunky product that is difficult to learn and isn’t intuitive! When I asked for help, you are sent a 200+ page setup guide pdf and told to go from there. -long days with tons of driving -too high of a meeting quota (8+ in person meetings from Tuesday thru Thursday) -awful company time off (no MLK day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Juneteenth, ect) -backwards policies and next to no diversity hiring (old school Oklahoma based company)(only ONE manager is a minority) - Horrendous support from the specialist side of the house means you are often doing more customer service than sales even though this is a sales role. -This place has INSANE turnover. All but 2 of my original team has been fired or quit. Clients notice this turnover as well as they have to meet a new rep every 6 months. - Clients are starting to figure all of this out and are leaving in droves

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.
