      High Risk/High Reward

      Outside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Commission structure is aggressive allowing high earning potential Training is thorough and helpful

      Cons

      No traditional ramp period and high turnover I’ve seen multiple reps get hired and fired within a couple weeks for not hitting meeting metrics Public Company with many outdated processes (frequently assigned non revenue generating tasks with strict deadlines) and systems (inhouse crm) Implementation can be a pain point. A separate team handles implementation. If there are delays in data collection you will not receive commission for an additional 6 months and the revenue is removed from quota attainment. There are numerous examples of reps that closed enough revenue to make presidents club but ended up on a performance plan due to failed implementations that were out of there control. Culture seems behind the times. You are expected to be in a full suit and tie at all times, whether in the office or meeting with a construction company. Management’s opinion of you can change at any point in time. If you are no longer in their good grace's it’s nearly impossible to keep your job

      Pay-Communist Regime

      Outside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Money. And that's about it.

      Cons

      Cult-like atmosphere (it is an actual thing to hear people say drink the kool-aid-I remember one VP telling us to follow Paycom with blind faith), delusional upper management requiring all meetings to be in person in an increasingly virtual world, resection/no starts can make it where you don't see your commission on deals for up to a year or at all (this happened to me twice-conveniently on my two biggest deals). If your main goal in life is to get rich and don't care how you get it, you've found your home. If not, you will find yourself dying inside a bit more each day. I recall when I was 23 looking in the mirror and finding a gray hair after having spent 2 years in this place. Paycom messes with your mind. They try to make you feel small and worthless if you aren't rich or won't buy into the lies upper management tells you. I ended up needing therapy toward the end of my time there.

      As an organization recognized as a top workplace year after year, we're proud of the employee-centric culture we've cultivated here at Paycom. We value building strong relationships with our clients while providing them with top-tier service and believe being in-person creates the opportunity to do just that. We recognize the importance of an individual's well-being and avidly support initiatives that create a space for such. Our leadership values open and honest communication both to and from employees and makes informed decisions with the organization's policies and values in mind. Your experience does not reflect these standards, and we'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact our HR leadership team at hrmgmt@paycomonline.com and someone will be in touch.
