-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
