Pros

earning potential, if your name doesn't get picked out of a hat.

Cons

Paycom has a weird philosophy as hire & fire. I was there a short time and saw several of my colleagues, hired the same time as me, let go without cause. I had rose colored glasses with the salary and commission plan. I saw all of the testimonials about ruthless hours, no life, horrid management etc., but was willing to suffer and bust my butt, sacrificing pretty much my entire life and wellbeing. Despite my consistency in hitting metrics, receiving positive feedback all around, and putting in the extra hours & effort, I too was let go without cause. I saw this in previous reviews and assumed that those people were just disgruntled and bad at their jobs... that is not the case. You're looking at a few months of hard work and pride before they fire you, again, WITHOUT CAUSE. In a few of my peers cases, they even went as far to makeup causes, which were easily disproven. Something weird is going on here, stay away, safe yourself the torment.

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.
