Pros

Training period was very helpful and prepared you well for the work you'd do once it was over.

Cons

Promotions/upward mobility is very limited, unless you were a top 1% performer. Promotions in general were frozen during my time there for >1 year.

Pros

-Founder-led CEO and Chairman - prioritizes and heavily invested in the long-term success of the company, its people and the clients we serve. -Best product in the industry - commitment to innovation is next level. -Best sales training in all of saas - trains people to be elite selling machines, invests in their people for coaching and development geared to make people all around successful humans in business and in life. -Values celebrating achievements, top performance and success - Luxury President's Club trips, luxury gifts, luxury contest prizes, trophies, awards, weekly leaderboards highlighting top performances, stock incentive program, cash bonuses, highly compensated roles, most lucrative sales commission structure in the industry. -High growth potential and upward advancement opportunities - promotes from within and values organic growth. -The people - everyone is working together towards the same goals, has fun, celebrates big and often, supportive, close knit.

Cons

-Due to reputation around training and top performing salesforce, sales reps are frequent targets for recruiters and competitors in hopes of poaching them from Paycom. Hit up non stop by recruiters across all industries. -Highly competitive industry - its also not uncommon for you to be selling against a previous Paycom rep that was let go and now sells for a competitor. -You're one of many elite performers. You may have been the MVP or top performing somewhere else but at Paycom you're surrounded by high performers, who are very competitive, motivated and who also want to be the BEST. Paycom lives by "iron sharpens iron" mentality. Can be a humbling experience for many.

Pros

The people, we have amazing people that inspire me every day. They are so smart and love to think creatively to solve problems and propel us into the future! The perks and our beautiful campus. We are an in-office culture so it is very nice to have all the $4 delicious lunch options, on-site fitness center and wellness programs. Our landscaping is gorgeous and just getting to give high fives and see people winning is very rewarding. I enjoy seeing all the fun ways people decorate their work space and the extras when a birthday, anniversary, baby, wedding, etc... is celebrated! Overall the pay is really good too.

Cons

Paycom definitely is not for everyone. We are a metrics driven organization with high expectations. We expect people to learn fast, be confident to problem solve and ask questions so ultimately we all get the desired results. Depending on where you live the commute every day can feel long. Currently the city has construction going near the entrances so that stinks but it should be great once complete.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to see it reflect the energy and pride people bring to their work, along with the campus and benefits designed to support that environment. We’re clear about our high expectations, and it’s encouraging to hear how that culture comes through alongside the people and perks that make Paycom a rewarding place to be.
