Pros

Strong company reputation especially if you want to be in the tech world Development opportunities (though you will have much more if you are located at one of the two headquarter locations) More freedom if you are in one of the satellite offices Teaches you how to be VERY adaptable because directives changed from one day to the next the entire time I worked for the company

Cons

Openly discriminatory when it comes to hiring for sales teams (sales managers will openly reference weight, age, race, etc. because they don't "fit the Paycom look") Negative, overly competitive, cut-throat which is detrimental if you like to work in a team environment = everyone is basically out for themselves Was told that we need to wear our hair down and put on makeup to be "acceptable" by Paycom standards Very old school for a tech company = you have to dress in suit and ties and people have been rejected as potential hires due to facial hair It became clear through quarantine that productivity was more important than the mental health/well being of the employees

Pros

You can make a lot of money if you are in the right territory and have a good client base that hasn’t been oversold by previous AMs. The training is very good and you will make good friends! The people they hire are smart and fun to be around

Cons

If there has been high turnover in your territory it will be hard to sell as the clients have products that have not been properly implemented and are likely gun shy to purchase. It will also depend how “over promised/under delivered” their experience with new business is. The work/life balance can, and probably will, become very toxic. You are on the road constantly if you have a travel heavy territory which makes it difficult to get admin work done during business hours. You will be working before and/or after work - probably on the weekends as well. Ask for transparency in your territory assignment. You want to know how far your furthest client is as you will have to go see them in person at some point
