Pros

For anyone looking into a sales role at Paycom, this is the right fit for you if you aren't afraid of hard work and want to be the best person/professional/sales rep possible. The training program is by far the best experience I have been a part of where we came out of it ready to close deals on our own, where we learned directly from the best sales people in the organization, and where we were challenged to be people of high character. Could not speak more highly of my experience.

Cons

The training was lengthy, so you will need to be prepared to spend time away from your family/friends. Still very worth it, but it is a commitment.

Decent pay overshadowed by job insecurity and low morale

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

My compensation is pretty decent!

Cons

The seemingly forever ongoing “restructures” and staff reductions makes it impossible for team members to buy in. Employees remain dispensable to the company, yet Chad just expects people (who are working to support their families, so remaining employed is a necessity for them) to give their life to Paycom. We’re not only losing really good people, but 90% of the workforce is just doing enough to not get fired.

We hold high standards for performance across the organization and continue to invest in our team members through the resources, training and support needed to meet them. We encourage you to connect with your leader to discuss your feedback further.
