Pros

Good pay structure (base and potential commission you more than likely will never see)

Cons

Love all the new positive reviews from people just graduating sales academy (3 weeks in) and don’t know what they really signed up for. Insane turnover (around 75% within a year) micromanaging is insane, 55-60+ hr weeks, travel is so much, sales cycle is brutally long, you’re basically a BDR, AE, solutions engineer, and half of a AM all in one. Industry is super saturated and Paycom is most expensive on the market and people don’t have spare money laying around for Payroll software. Churn and burn style org while management and VPs just vacation together and flex $$$ before they fire you
