Challenging but rewarding!

Pros

Working at Paycom has many perks. The $1 health insurance; the $4 lunches, and the numerous fun activities the company puts on for us, just to name a few. That being said, one of the things that I like more than all of that, are the people I work with. At Paycom, the people you work with make it possible for you to get through the most difficult tasks and seasons, especially our busy season at year-end. My other favorite part about working at Paycom is the challenging nature of the work here. I've held a few different positions at Paycom, and each has been more challenging than the other. I never get bored with my work here, and I know that what I do matters.

Cons

Work-life-balance is a challenge at Paycom.

No work/life balance... I hated it here.

Pros

generous salary, nice offices, good benefits, fun, young coworkers. Opportunity to meet and network with many C-level executives that can truly provide a lot of valuable knowledge to you as a young employee across many diverse industries.

Cons

Do not come to work in sales for Paycom if work/life balance is even #10 of your your top 10 requirements in a job. Minimal PTO, and taking it is discouraged. Making sales while on maternity leave/sick/on vacation is normal here, and if you do take it and don't sell during it, you'll miss quota for sure which of course is highly frowned upon. Hours are long, and promotions are hard to come by- although being in sales management for them requires even longer hours plus 3/4 days per week of travel... It's a great company with a great product and you really can make good money, but you must be prepared to work 60+ hours a week to find the success they expect out of you. Nobody really cares who you are unless you're blowing it out of the water week after week- seriously, if you made a crazy huge sale last week and have nothing this week, you're totally forgotten. Not a sustainable, long-term environment for most.

We are happy to share we recently increased PTO for employees. Paycom is very proud of all the amazing reps on the team that are able to manage with success both their home and professional lives and we support this continued success of our sales representatives. If there is an issue with management not allowing time off, we hope you addressed this in your exit interview. We agree that some of our sales reps work more than 40 hours a week as do most individuals who aspire to make over $100k per year. We also have individuals who are able to meet and exceed their quota working 40 hours per week as they grow in their knowledge base and build their pipelines. We encourage you to reach out to the HR team to share specifics around your observations, if you haven’t already done so. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with the management team.

Pros

Really good pay, awesome benefits, they will take care of their employees. Free coffee!

Cons

Stretched too thin, spent too much time in meetings that could have been used working. Not enough training for job function.
