Pros

Competitive base salary but not worth the money for what you give up in your life

Cons

If you want to be a happy person and live your life do not work at Paycom. -Zero work life balance -Given mandatory tasks/assignments to do every night when you get home due the next morning- even after training when you are an exec rep -Unqualified and untrained management who treat you like you are inferior -Forced to cold call at your desk the same (less than 100) people day after day -Horrible PTO policy -Zero flexibility -Make you "drink the Kool-Aid" or you "wont make it" (forces religion on you) -Forced to be unrealistically positive all the time instead of being a real human being -Expected to come in early and stay late or you are looked down upon by your manager -Unrealistic expectations day in and day out with no help -Soul crushing experience overall ....I could go on and on.

To be clear, the expectations and demands of our sales team are made very clear prior to the beginning of employment and are, indeed, very rigorous. We understand that these positions will not be a good fit for everyone because of the high level of performance required. However, with great demand comes great reward and we are proud of the compensation and benefit structure we offer our sales reps.

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.
